Reviews

"The book provides insight into writing quality and can be used in person or online by teachers or learners studying on their own. It is clear, accessible, objective, and user friendly, with a glossary, answer keys, and index, which can support autonomous, independent learning. Thus, the book provides several insights into the fundamental principles behind the art of writing, I highly recommend this volume, particularly to international students whose responsibilities include academic writing in business and economics." - Maria Claudia Nunes Delfino, JALT Journal
