Reviews
I am very excited about this new composition book's approach to teaching writing. It broaches academic writing comprehensively yet practically, honestly, and with a minimum of jargon and highfalutin prose. --Tammy Trucks-Bordeaux, Peru State College Academic Writing is fabulous and deeply overdue. I love the emphasis on student research. Students can see for themselves why the things that teachers ask for are important. --Heather Pristash, Western Wyoming Community College
