"We chose The Norton Reader for the breadth and excellence of its readings—and for the way those readings foster critical thinking and thoughtful writing. It’s a book that prompts both instructors and students to think about many of the most important questions being discussed across the academy today. And it gives our very diverse faculty plenty of choice at a reasonable price."
—Alan Ainsworth, Houston Community College

"This book is extremely useful for a course I teach on writing narrative nonfiction. The breadth of selections is helpful because my goal is for the students to have a range of models—various time periods, styles, tones, and purposes."
—Matthew Cheney, New Hampton School
