N1  - Previous edition published under title: Designs for disciplines; Includes bibliograhic references and index; SUMMARY:; "The challenges of teaching and learning academic-level writing may be greater than ever before due to the prevalence of writing practices in social media and the growing internationalization of post-secondary education. The authors of Academic Writing* use discipline-based research papers to discuss preliminary steps such as research, note-taking, summarizing, and drafting a proposal. They trace the development of scholarly papers through introductions, core paragraphs, and conclusions, and they close with essential chapters on writing in the sciences, and revision and proofreading. In its third edition, Academic Writing now offers chapter learning objectives, annotated passages that illustrate aspects of academic style, and a glossary. Furthermore, every chapter ends with articles that can be used for stylistic analysis. These rich pedagogical features accompanied by the authors’ clear step-by-step instructions make this book an ideal guide for all students who want to improve their academic writing skills." -- Publisher's Website; TABLE OF CONTENTS; Chapter 1: What’s the Occasion?

N2  - "Academic Writing is a textbook for use in college and university courses teaching academic writing. The text is grounded in "genre theory," with a stress on formal patters and "discipline-based" ways of writing. In this way, it distinguishes itself from other general composition texts. The authors spend some time in their introduction discussing scholarly debates on composition. Initial chapters focus on research, note-taking, summarizing, and drafting a proposal. They then take students through the development of a scholarly paper by examining the crafting of an introduction, core paragraphs, and conclusion. The book contains annotated passages illustrating aspects of academic style and each chapter ends with articles meant to be used for stylistic analysis."--
