America Now has always been characterized by its brief and very current readings that reflect what students are talking and writing about right now. As series editor for The Best American Essays, Robert Atwan constantly scours a wide range of print and online periodicals, bringing to America Now an unrivaled awareness of the best writing on today's issues — and the top-notch editorial support students need to approach it and to create solid academic writing of their own. The print text is now integrated with e-Pages for America Now, designed to take advantage of what the Web can do, with carefully curated, multimodal selections. When you use America Now in your course, the essential texts of today are both the words on a page and the world on a screen.
"My students enjoy reading and thinking about the selections in America Now because they spark spirited and productive discussions. Students often tell me that they read unassigned essays for pleasure." — Samuel Maio, San Jose State University
