註釋"The undertaking of a modern university or college program requires a student to read vast amounts of academic text, and from these readings convey ideas and thoughts on the issues at hand back to a reader as clearly and concisely as possible. This is a specialized task and requires skills that often do not receive adequate attention. It is this problem that the author addresses in this book, focusing both on the ways in which academic material must be processes as it is read, and on the ways in which students can themselves transform ideas into successful prose. Through discussion of the complicated principles that inform serious writing, the author helps students bring their writing to a level where it becomes a vehicle for academic success, rather than a hindrance to it. Useful readings and exercises illustrate the points being made throughout the book. The focus is on principles of reading and of writing that can be applied as usefully in history, psychology or philosophy courses as they can in writing essays on English literature." [Back cover].
