Reviews

An outstanding book, Academic Reading offers accessible examples of real scholarly discourse. Indeed, this is the only 'across the disciplines' reader that I have seen that accomplishes this effectively. - Brian Turner, University of Winnipeg An excellent selection of provocative essays; I will certainly adopt this text for my junior level composition course. - Kathleen Blumreich, Grand Valley State University
