{"product_id":"9781551113937","title":"Academic Reading: Reading and Writing Across the Disciplines","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis reader has been designed to accompany Giltrow’s \u003cb\u003eAcademic Writing\u003c\/b\u003e, one of the key principles of which is that there is a close connection between the processes of reading and of writing academic prose. Each reading is preceded by introductory commentary, questions, and suggestions for discussion, and the book also includes a brief general introduction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with Giltrow’s \u003cb\u003eAcademic Writing\u003c\/b\u003e, her \u003cb\u003eAcademic Reading\u003c\/b\u003e is a challenging text. At its core are 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 community’s ways of reading and writing mysterious, unpredictable and intimidating. \u003cb\u003eAcademic Reading\u003c\/b\u003e demystifies the scholarly genres, shedding light on their discursive conventions. Throughout, \u003cb\u003eAcademic Reading\u003c\/b\u003e respects the student writer; it engages the reader’s interest without ever condescending, and it avoids entirely the arbitrary and the dogmatic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second edition is expanded to include twenty-one selections, nineteen of which come from scholarly publications, and more than half of which are new to this edition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47046053363952,"sku":"9781551113937","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781551113937_p0.jpg?v=1763754269","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781551113937","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
