The authors provide a writing textbook that acknowledges writing for students has changed. They no longer write when assigned an essay or paper; they write when they text message, post on a variety of social media, blog, and otherwise take advantage of the Internet and communications technologies available to them. In short, they write all the time. They address writing from a variety of perspectives and cover thinking rhetorically, writing processes, collaboration, argument, narratives, reporting, analysis, evaluating sources, personal style, and other elements of writing. Authors are Lunsford (Stanford U.), Brody (San Francisco State U.), Moss (The Ohio State U.), Papper (Hofstra U.), and Walters (Portland State U.).
