Pre-publication Praise for "Envision In Depth"
“ What’ s distinctive about "Envision In Depth" is its specific emphasis on researched argumentation. Even though the book includes a variety of other projects, its core is academic writing and the selections do a nice job of modeling the range of genres and perspectives that contribute to a well-rounded research argument.” -Brooke Hessler, "Oklahoma City University"
“ The text provides a great resource for any instructor who teaches persuasive writing. What makes this reader especially applicable is its focus on the written and the visual. The visual is seamlessly integrated. It’ s not an afterthought… . The framework that’ s provided by the authors is especially important because it makes sure that students understand the connections among the various pieces discussed in the text.” -Sibylle Gruber, "Northern Arizona University"

“ This book definitely haspersonality. It is the most ‘ 21st-century’ textbook I have ever read… The writing is quite good but also informal; the subjects tend to be quite youth-friendly; and there’ s an interesting mix of old and new: classical rhetoric meets film studies meets visual rhetoric meets English-101 writing apparatus.” -Scott Earle, "Tacoma Community College"
