Overview
Broadening the traditional notion of undergraduate research, WRITING, READING, AND RESEARCH thoroughly covers the essential skills for developing a research paper: analytical reading, synthesizing, paraphrasing, and summarizing. Presenting the process of research in a practical sequence, including separate chapters on finding, analyzing, and integrating sources, the authors illustrate each stage of the process with examples of student and professional writing. Using a flexible and goal-oriented approach, the authors have created a text that blends the best features of a theoretically informed rhetoric, an interdisciplinary reading anthology, and a research guide. WRITING, READING, AND RESEARCH, Ninth Edition, provides helpful and engaging exercises, frequent opportunities to write, and many occasions for discussion and critical response.
Editorials
From the Publisher
"This text covers the full process of doing research and writing a research paper, including documentation. It is thorough and comprehensive.""The authors have done a wonderful job of organizing the text to accomplish its purposes. After an introductory chapter that covers the book's three themes: reading, writing, and research, the authors wisely focus several chapters on reading. Students need this instruction, yet, too often, they can feel patronized by instructors' attempts to train them. Veit and Gould do not fall into this trap. Rather, they clearly explain the need to read well, a process to do so, and strategies for improving analytic reading, something all students will profit from."
