In a striking full-color visual format, The Bedford Book of Genres collects compelling examples that tell stories, report information, and persuade their audiences and then invites students to unpack how they work in order to experiment with their own compositions—not only through writing, but through photography, sketching, audio recording, and other creative forms. The Guide presents a simple rhetorical framework for reading in any genre and supports students through every step of the composing process, from finding a topic and sources to choosing a genre, presenting your work, and creating an author’s statement about your composing choices. Guided Readings—in print and e-Pages—map out the rhetorical situation and conventions of common public and academic genres, while Guided Process sections follow the decisions that 5 real students made as they worked in multiple genres and media. With 16 topic clusters and a range of readings from short visual arguments to longer, more complex pieces, the Reader gives students a wealth of sources, models, and inspiration for their own compositions.

Ways of Reading offers a uniquely exciting approach to first-year composition, integrating reading, writing, and critical thinking with an ambitious selection of readings and editorial support. An introduction provides a framework to guide students in reading "with and against the grain." Then Ways of Reading helps students develop the intellectual skills necessary for academic work by engaging them in conversations with key academic and cultural texts. With selections by thinkers such as Michel Foucault, Susan Bordo, and Kwame Anthony Appiah, it also bridges the gap between contemporary critical theory and composition so that instructors can connect their own scholarly work with their teaching. An extensive instructor’s manual provides a wealth of support. Now with exciting new contemporary readings and e-Pages—online essays and videos integrated with the print book—Ways of Reading continues to be the most intellectually thrilling reader available.

Based on Wardle and Downs’ research, the first edition of Writing about Writing marked a milestone in the field of composition. By showing students how to draw on what they know in order to contribute to ongoing conversations about writing and literacy, it helped them transfer their writing-related skills from first-year composition to other courses and contexts. Now used by tens of thousands of students, Writing about Writing presents accessible writing studies research by authors such as Mike Rose, Deborah Brandt, John Swales, and Nancy Sommers, together with popular texts by authors such as Malcolm X and Anne Lamott, and texts from student writers. Throughout the book, friendly explanations and scaffolded activities and questions help students connect to readings and develop knowledge about writing that they can use at work, in their everyday lives, and in college. The new edition builds on this success and refines the approach to make it even more teachable. The second edition includes more help for understanding the rhetorical situation and an exciting new chapter on multimodal composing. The print text is now integrated with e-Pages for Writing about Writing, designed to take advantage of what the Web can do.   The conversation on writing about writing continues on the authors' blog, Write On: Notes on Writing about Writing (a channel on Bedford Bits, the Bedford/St. Martin's blog for teachers of writing).

As an ongoing project, nationally recognized producer, teacher, and writer Peter Berkow interviews today's authors on reading, writing, and the value of literature. Our growing library of more than 50 video interviews with today's writers include: • Ha Jin on how he uses humor, • Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni on how she writes from experience, and • T.C. Boyle on how he works with language and style. Authors discuss character, plot, setting, and other elements central to the study of literature, giving students an insiders' view of how writers write. New! Each video is now supplemented with questions that help students: • respond to authors' comments, • write in depth about specific concepts and literary works, and • draw connections among the ideas and works discussed. These new assignments —a long with autobiographical notes and interview transcripts — make each video an assignable module that students can complete any time.

As an ongoing project, nationally recognized producer, teacher, and writer Peter Berkow interviews today's authors on reading, writing, and the value of literature. Our growing library of more than 50 video interviews with today's writers include: • Ha Jin on how he uses humor, • Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni on how she writes from experience, and • T.C. Boyle on how he works with language and style. Authors discuss character, plot, setting, and other elements central to the study of literature, giving students an insiders' view of how writers write. New! Each video is now supplemented with questions that help students: • respond to authors' comments, • write in depth about specific concepts and literary works, and • draw connections among the ideas and works discussed. These new assignments —a long with autobiographical notes and interview transcripts — make each video an assignable module that students can complete any time.
