505			_a"Inspiring students to take a critical and multi-faceted approach to reading, Perspectives combines skills instruction and authentic academic content to prepare learners for the demands of post-secondary education. A careful and thorough handling of reading skills and strategies-- such as annotating text, managing difficult vocabulary, assessing inferences, distinguishing between facts and opinions, and evaluating techniques of persuasion-- establishes a foundation from which students can anaylze and synthesize information. The reading selections provide exposure to more than twenty academic disciplines, including sociology, environmental studies, mechanical engineering, business, and biology, in themed units that range from "Maintaining Law and Order" to "Living with Nature". A thought-provoking, practical, and versatile resource, Perspectives affords students the tools required to take on their academic reading with confidence" (Book Cover).
