N1  - "The third edition of American English Rhetoric is a text for the English as a second language student who, though advanced in some skills, is still far from completely bilingual. In this edition, therefore, the readings and exercises remain challenging and adult in focus. At the same time, the text's earlier emphasis on examples and analysis has been intensified
; Like its predecessors, the third edition is a comprehensive text, combining an expository composition program with the essentials of grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary study. Grammar has been sequentially woven into the chapters, rather than being treated in the conventional handbook manner, to help students perceive that rhetoric and grammar are complementary, not separate, entities."(Preface, p.v)"; CONTENTS
