Resumen del libro
Publisher Summary 1
Although Ackley (emerita, U. of Wisconsin at Stevens Point) spends a significant portion of this undergraduate text providing guidance on writing in an academic setting (covering all the standard topics), the core of this work is her presentation of 76 diverse contemporary readings on issues from across the disciplinary spectrum (42 of which are new to this edition) intended to "sharpen students critical thinking skills" by providing them with different and often opposing perspectives on contemporary issues. In terms of issues and disciplines, the chapters cover music and video games, media studies, film and television, the arts, education, poverty and homelessness, criminal behavior, gender and sex roles, race and ethnicity in America, terrorism and war, American foreign policy, digital technology and the Internet, bioethics, public health, environmental studies, marketing and the American consumer, the workplace, the economic impact of outsourcing, and the global marketplace.

Publisher Summary 2
Katherine Ackley assumes that students respond most deeply to readings on topics relevant to their own lives. The selections included in the fifth edition of PERSPECTIVES ON CONTEMPORARY ISSUES will prompt good discussions, and the sections on reading and writing critically will lead to writing that you truly care about.
