Recenzii
'Based on seven years of interviewing people in workplaces, for the state, and as authors this remarkable book makes strong claims about the growing significance of writing. I was drawn into it from the first page of the introduction and just wanted to read on all the time.' David Barton, Lancaster University
'Through fascinating case studies that range from veteran ghostwriters to aspiring young authors, Deborah Brandt documents a significant trend: many of us now spend much of our daily lives composing texts. In such a world, she cogently argues, literacy research and teaching should focus on more than just skills of reading. With her usual acumen, rigor and eloquence, she calls for expanded attention to our new society of writing. She herself helps us understand it and think about how it might flourish.' John Schilb, Indiana University
