Mather and McCarthy (developmental and critical and evaluative reading and English as a second language, Glendale Community College) provide a textbook to help advanced undergraduate students develop skills for reading, understanding, and critically evaluating textbooks and other college-level reading.

This edition has new readings on creativity and critical thinking, a greater emphasis on vocabulary development, more focus on the theme of art, and a new full-color design, with readings designed to appear in their original form, which are excerpted from textbooks, newspapers, magazines, and literature.
