This book is designed to help students with the problems they face in
their academic writing. Beginning with the premise that successful
writing in the arts and social sciences goes hand in hand with
understanding the subject-matter and finding out what to do with it,
the book deals with the tasks that confront students as they think
about a problem and explore possible answers. Using concrete examples
from a variety of disciplines, the author demonstrates an interesting
approach to different sorts of task: reading, taking notes,
interpreting and analysing. He moves on to show how the parts of an
academic essay are developed and structured, and how to make effective
use of language as an academic medium. This is a book that students
will want to read through and refer back to. The practical knowledge
required in writing a good academic essay is never underestimated, but
Gordon Taylor's advice is always very clearly presented and very much
to the point. At the same time it is refreshingly thorough, and the
detailed illustrations he provides come from long experience in
teaching students the art of writing.
