includes an additional forty readings organized in chapters focusing on issues

dents should be prepared to enter in their college years, and beyond.■ An Instructor’s Manual Is Available for Download
We have prepared an instructor’s manual, Resources for Teaching From
Inquiry to Academic Writing, Third Edition, that addresses every step of
the process of academic writing we set forth in the text, with additional
comments on the readings integrated in the chapters. Not only do we dis-
cuss many of the issues involved in taking our rhetorical approach to aca-
demic argument — problems and questions students and instructors may
have — we also suggest background readings on the research informing our
approach. The instructor’s manual can be downloaded via the catalog page,
macmillanhighered.com/frominquiry/catalog.■ Acknowledgments
