Produktbeschreibung

This scholarly research Handbook aggregates the broad-ranging, interdisciplinary, multidimensional strands of writing research from scholars worldwide and brings them together into a common intellectual space. This is the first such international compilation.

Now in its second edition, the Handbook inaugurates a wide scope of international research advancement, with attention to writing at all levels of schooling and in all life situations. It provides advanced surveys of scholarship on the histories of world and child writing and literacy; interconnections between writing, reading, and speech; digital writing; writing in communities; writing in the sciences and engineering; writing instruction and assessment; and writing and disability. A section on international measures for assessment of writing is a new addition to this compendium of research.

This Handbook serves as a comprehensive resource for scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates in writing studies and rhetoric, composition, creative expression, education, and literacy studies.

Rezensionen

"Fascinating and thorough! I was delighted to learn so much about the process that so many of us often just take for granted. This volume is bound to be the standard reference work on understanding the writing process for decades to come. A work of great breadth and superb scholarship. I expect this volume to be one of the most cited reference works for the international community of scholars and students of writing."

David Berliner, Former President, American Educational Research Association; Professor Emeritus, Educational Psychology, Arizona State University, USA.

"This is a timely book that covers many aspects of one of the most fundamental cultural inventions in human history that changed our mode of thinking and allowed communication across time and space."

René van der Veer, Emeritus Professor, Department of Education, University of Leiden, The Netherlands.

"This masterful volume will be a key resource for scholars of writing for decades to come. It covers the historical development from prehistory to the digital age, and it has something to tell us about writing's educational, psychological, and sociological dimensions. Horowitz has collected and organized the chapters to come up with a volume that provides new insights into just about every aspect of writing."
