Damian Kington, Investor, Brand Consultant, and Strategy Adviser, New York
"Its potential use is not restricted to educators and researchers, but, for me, as a non-native English speaker and junior researcher, working with Roslyn Petelin’s book helped me to master the standards required of various genres within academic writing. This book is a good starting point for researchers who are exposed to an English writing environment for the first time and is likely to help them to enhance their writing efficacy."
Jie Liu, Educatinal Review
