"Once I started reading, I couldnt stop.... I cannot emphasize too strongly how important (and rare) it is for a professional book to be so very readable, so compelling.... The combination of the solid scholarship, the theoretical framework, and vivid depiction of the students lives, make this book one that will be read by many and that will be influential."Stephanie Vandrick, University of San Francisco
"Few studies like this exist that document the writing that students do and the attitudes toward writing that they have over their entire undergraduate experience.... The case studies are rich and revealing, and give curriculum designers and writing teachers, both L1 and L2, much to think about. Above all, [ this book] makes us question long- and dearly held assumptions about writing at the undergraduate level." Christine Pearson Casanave, Temple University, Japan
