"A particularly useful and enticing collection. I especially appreciate the attention the authors give to addressing the considerable areas of overlap in composition theory/pedagogy, while clearly delineating the differences. A very descriptive reader rather than a didactic guide."--Stephen Adkison, Director, Writing Center, Idaho State University"An excellent guide to different philosophies of teaching writing. It should be of great assistance to both prospective and current instructors as they develop and enhance their own approaches to composition classes."--Stephen M. Hecox, New Mexico Highlands University"A concise, thorough overview of contemporary composition pedagogies and their roots in ancient, more 'traditional' theories of reading and writing."--Mary Blanchard, University of Texas, Dallas"A comprehensive, up-to-date, smart book."--Anushiya Sivanarayanan, Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville
