Rezensionen
'This volume, produced with the input of students, performs what it proclaims: clarity and coherence about academic writing. The authors demonstrate how academic writing works and how it can be acquired. The volume is also excellent in its serious treatment of the concept of language as a resource . The field of academic language studies has needed this book for a long time.'

Joseph Lo Bianco, Professor, University of Melbourne, Australia

'This book offers what every academic could wish for an empathetic older brother and sister extending their helping hand to the struggling writer of academic English prose. Not just rules and advice, but concrete examples of revisions and rewrites. Not to relieve your guilt feelings, but to help you reach your intended audience in the most forceful way. Not recipes, but explorations of your writing process. Writing as a way of discovering what you really think and who you really are. I wish I could have had such a book at the beginning of my writing career.'

Claire Kramsch, Professor Emerita University of California, Berkeley, USA

'The authors invite you as readers to engage with how academic texts are crafted, to consider how you tackle the process of writing, and to reflect on your own writing. The book is about being a writer, as much as it is about academic writing.'

From the Foreword by Debra Myhill, Professor, University of Exeter, UK
