Authoring Culture: Foundations of Twenty-First Century Writing explores a set of concepts you can draw upon to analyze a wide range of rhetorical contexts, whether you are preparing to work on a writing assignment for class, completing a writing task at work, or writing out of personal interest or for social occasions."
