This text will encourage teachers to compare their writing pedagogies with those in other countries to develop a critical perspective on composition. --A. Suresh Canagarajah, City University of New York <p> This is both a first-class comparative study of upper-level college writing and a powerful argument for a richer, more demanding approach to writing assignments across the curriculum. Foster is a strong advocate for demanding that students write 'transformatively as knowledge makers' from within their chosen discipline. This is a fascinating book and the beginning, I hope, of many more comparative studies. --John Brereton, The Boston Athenaeum Author InformationDavid Foster, a former Fulbright senior scholar at the University of Dresden, is a professor emeritus of English at Drake University.
