About this book

This book explores how academics publically evaluate each others' work. Focusing on blurbs, book reviews, review articles, and literature reviews, the international contributors to the volume show how writers manage to critically engage with others' ideas, argue their own viewpoints, and establish academic credibility.

Reviews

'...valuable for researchers interested in a variety of fields, including discourse analysis, academic writing, intercultural communication, and second language writing. They also offer a valuable and stimulating contribution to ongoing discussion of academic review genres.' - Australian Review of Applied Linguistics
