Best book on composition I know

Based on the University of Colorado-Boulder's writing prgam, Nogaard's book is the best book on composition I know. After teaching composition in both high school and college, I find the emphasis and approach excellent for both as well as for different levels of abilities. For any composition other than creative, this is the book.

College text excellent for high school--esp. honors & AP

This college text is an excellent text on writing--and reading. Based on the University of Colorado--Boulder's writing program, it is a clear , no nonsense approach to argumentative writing, the best way to teach writing in/for any context other than creative writing. Am high school teacher who uses the text for junior honors. students.
