In recent years, the number of nonnative speakers of English in colleges and universities in North America has increased dramatically. As a result, more and more writing teachers have found themselves working with these English as a Second Language (ESL) students in writing classes that are designed primarily with monolingual, native-English-speaking students in mind.

As the field of composition studies became more sophisticated in its understanding of research, the designs and assumptions underlying the early work were called into question. Researchers were challenged to design studies that were sensitive to the varying contexts in which writers write and to the ways their own roles shaped their investigations. The more comprehensive studies called for by these critiques are only now beginning to appear. This volume presents some articles in which writers and what they do are at the center of inquiry. The focus is on what actually occurs as people...

This collection introduces the reader to the ideas that have shaped writing center theory and practice.

Rhetoric of science studies how scientists persuade and dissuade each other (that's the way they make knowledge), and the rest of us (that's the way they make change), about matter and molecules and life. This field is represented here by 15 landmark essays which centrally contribute to science studies, rhetorical criticism, and argumentation.
The first edition of Landmark Essays in Rhetoric of Science: Case Studies, featuring Harris's celebrated introduction, helped launch the Landmark series. It made a vital impact in the then-nascent field of rhetoric of science, and has...
