Marjorie Ford (Stanford U.) and Jon Ford (De Anza College, Cupertino, California) present an updated textbook designed to help students explore their inner worlds--dreams, fantasies, and the unconscious mind--and the way society has influenced those worlds through various forms of writing and popular culture. The seventh edition contains 35 new readings, a rhetoric and essay development advice section, new "connection" and discussion questions, new ideas for writing, and a new MyCompLab companion website.
