Summary

Co-published with the Association for Core Text and Courses, this book contains a collection of core texts that are appropriate for students of all majors. The volume is a resource for educators attempting to create a cohesive structure to their curriculum, integrating it with texts of cultural significance. Students, through critical thinking, bridge discipline (science and the arts), culture (East and West), and time period (ancient and modern). Rich with possibility for either public or private colleges, Core Texts in Conversation is a valuable guide for curriculum building in any discipline.
