Currents of Inquiry: Readings for Academic Writing

Autor Nancy Morrow, Marlene B. Clarke
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 1997
This topically arranged reader offers 32 challenging selections that show the exchange of ideas between academic and nonacademic communities. This is not a writing across the curriculum text; it is instead a reader that introduces students to academic and public discourse and that acknowledges the interdisciplinary aspect of most academic and cultural inquiry.
