“It's an impressive text, one that will help empower students as they are challenged by writing in college and life.” -- Richard Lee, SUNY College at Oneonta “The book takes university students seriously as readers capable of entering this world and as writers who can learn from it more effectively than from conventional textbooks offering sets of instructions.” -- Susan Jarratt, University of California, Irvine “One of the great advantages of this collection is that it both introduces students to scholarly conversations … and encourages students to enter those conversations. ... The text achieves this goal by including readings from a wide range of methodological approaches that students can adopt as they undertake their own research.” -- Rebecca S. Nowacek, Marquette University “I think one of the real strengths of this collection is giving students real research articles from the field of composition and rhetoric. … It also…treats them as knowledgeable intellects themselves, ready to dive in and handle difficult, complex writing and ideas. A class that uses and follows this reader will have a focused inquiry, one that builds and progresses from chapter to chapter -- a course clearly about writing.” -- Laura Davies, Syracuse University
