(The studies presented here) all contribute to a better understanding of what is at stake when scholars express their opinion on work produced by their peers, and a few of them actually shed light on some recent trends that had not been brought to light before. It is consequently clear to this reviewer that `Crossed Words: Criticism in Scholarly Writing' is worth reading for anybody with an interest in the long and tortuous process that constitutes the development of modern science. (Francois Maniez, Anglais de Specialite) I wholeheartedly recommend `Crossed Words: Criticism in Scholarly Writing' to any member of the academic community (students, researchers, ESP and EAP practitioners, scientists and technology professionals alike) interested in the inner workings of critical scholarly writing.
