Great essay book

Delivery was a blast(2 days). Packaging was perfect, and the book was new as promised . This book has many great essays and written works by famous writers and various other people. It has guidelines for writing essays and speeches, also it has language visuals e.g. cartoons, ads, media, e-mails. Detailed explaination of every topic plus writing assignment and critical thinking. Great book for college studies and teaching.

A Textbook I Actually Enjoyed!

I used this book, coupled with some dry, boring, pretentious linguistics book, in my Anthropology class "Language and Culture." Goshgarian did a wonderful job putting it together. It would be a great tool for any student of sociolinguistics. Some of the books for sociolinguistics have forgotten who they're writing to; they try so hard to sound intelligent and end up making themselves look foolish when nobody understands. This book however, completely avoids that. Goshgarian should be applauded for this work. I can't wait for the next edition to come out!
