I wish I'd had this book when I was teaching advanced magazine writing-in fact, for any of my writing classes. The pieces are so compelling and varied. They make for a big treat and lessons in writing in and of themselves. --K. C. Cole, USC Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism, author of Something Incredibly Wonderful Happens: Frank Oppenheimer and His Astonishing Exploratorium I read Words Matter with great interest and admiration. The heart of it, the 26 pieces by University of Missouri alumni, is superb. --Patricia O'Toole, Columbia University School of the Arts, author of The Five of Hearts: An Intimate Portrait of Henry Adams and His Friends and other books Students in journalism programs and schools will appreciate this volume. --Choice
