"""This book has a worthy goal: to compare the writing done in university courses that attempt to prepare students for professional careers with the writing done in the actual workplaces where these same students intend to find jobs....The results are rich in telling details that support the claim of the title Worlds Apart: When students move from classroom to workplace, no only do the purposes for their writing change, but the change in settings affects their work as well. The examples, quotations, and stories that attest to these contrasts form the best part of this book."" —Technical Communication"
