This well-loved copy of “Examples of Science: An Anthology for College Composition” offers a glimpse into the world of science writing and its role in higher education during the late 20th century. Published in 1981, this anthology was likely a staple in many college composition courses, providing students with a diverse range of scientific essays and articles to analyze and discuss.
Editor Robert Emmett Lynch, a respected figure in the field of rhetoric and composition, carefully curated a collection that not only exposed students to various scientific topics but also challenged them to think critically about the art of scientific communication. From groundbreaking discoveries to thought-provoking theories, this anthology aimed to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and effective written expression.
Despite its well-worn appearance, this copy bears the marks of countless hours of study and engagement. The creased spine and pencil annotations are silent testaments to the intellectual journeys undertaken by its previous owners, who likely grappled with complex concepts and honed their analytical skills through the pages of this text. For collectors and readers alike, this volume offers a tangible connection to the educational experiences of a bygone era, inviting them to explore the intersection of science, language, and the pursuit of knowledge.
