Academic Writing is a unique introduction to the subject. As the author puts it in her preface, this book develops from a strong claim: namely, that style is meaningful. In developing that theme, the author draws meaningfully on theory, especially genre theory, while remaining grounded in the particular. Giltrow presents and discusses examples of actual academic writing of the sort that students must learn to deal with daily, and to write themselves. As newcomers to the scholarly community, students can find that communitys ways of reading and writing mysterious, unpredictable and intimidating. Academic Writing demystifies the scholarly genres, shedding light on their discursive conventions and on academic readers expectations and values. Throughout, Academic Writing respects the student writer; it engages the readers interest without ever condescending, and it avoids the arbitrary and the dogmatic.The book also offers abundant exercises to help the student develop techniques for working productively at each stage of the scholarly writing process; mastering and summarizing difficult scholarly sources; planning; and revising to create good working conditions for the reader.The third edition of Giltrows extremely successful book incorporates extensive revisions that integrate the theoretical perspectives of genre theory into the whole of the book in a more organic fashion; the changes are designed to make the book both more attuned to scholarly practice and more accessible to the undergraduate student.Giltrows Academic Reading is designed as an accompanying reader for Academic Writing.
