Reviews

[Elizabeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a comprehensive overview of much of the research (largely, but not exclusively, in linguistics) that's been conducted into writing and writing processes. In my mind, this is more useful to have as a reference book than as a book to read since the high-level of the overview (despite the useful case studies and examples) really prevents the book from having as much meat is it could. That said, it's truly comprehensive and the described changes to this edition make it much better than the prior one.
