Summary:

Part of a series on writing in education and teaching and the development of structures for the promotion of writing, this collection of twenty essays on the use of writing in knowledge communities examines a wide range of topics related to the structural use of writing in a variety of institutional contexts. The work is divided into sections covering topics such as the conceptual, methodological, and historical perspectives on writing as an epistemic practice; writing as knowledge work in public and professional settings; writing in research environments; the teaching of writing as an epistemic practice in higher education; and rhetoric and writing as knowledge-making practices in higher education. Contributors are academics from US and Canadian universities. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
