America Now makes it easy for you to bring brief, thought-provoking essays on contemporary topics into your classroom. As series editor for The Best American Essays , Robert Atwan places an unrivaled focus on bringing today’s best writing to students. By immersing students in public dialogue, America Now stimulates thoughtful composition. Instructors tell us that their students respond to the essays in the book, and they praise the reading and writing instruction, critical thinking and reading questions, and model student essays. Over half of the readings are new and published since 2021, making it truly a book for todays composition course.

New to This Edition

“There is something for everyone here. It has lots of short items that you can pick and choose from, it builds vocabulary without boring students, and it also shows how sentence structure and paragraphing are important. I recommend it.” —Jane Perry, Norwalk Community College “For critical thinking and writing courses, America Now is a hybrid reader-manual for tactful discussions about popular issues in the United States. The questions are framed to invite personal experience and engagement with the topics and the shorter ones make great discussion board posts.” —Michael A. Reyes, California State University, Los Angeles “ America Now is a practical and well-organized text that supports essential college-level writing skills and focuses on a variety of timely topics in a way that encourages students to think critically and engage in academic conversation.” —Lauren E. O’Leary, Gateway Community College "The exercises, especially the ‘Thinking Critically’ questions, are extremely helpful to students. They allow students to practice their writing without having to write several essays—and they help them engage with the texts." —Andrew DiNicola, South Georgia State College
