Written in a personal and accessible style and with copious tasks, examples and research ideas, this is an invaluable resource for those new to ESP and looking for sensible advice and clear guidance.

The regular pattern in each chapter enables readers either to read chapter by chapter to develop a coherent view, or to read selectively to meet their current needs. To sum up, Anthony has written an informative and resourceful book, offering a contemporary and comprehensive view of ESP. [...] It deserves a place on the bookshelves of graduate students in applied linguistics, language teachers or ESP administrators.
