Reviews / Votes
"Williams is obviously well-versed in the theories that have informed the discipline of composition over the past 25 years, and the book is richer for his expertise, skillfully blending theory with practice. Moreover, he has a clear and elegant style, and knows how to organize complex material....The language is easy to understand, the examples are sharp and relevant, and the authorial tone is just right--at once knowledgeable and friendly. This is the voice of someone who has taught for a long time and is thoroughly familiar with the problems students have encountered in their writing courses....Students will appreciate the strength and encouragement with which new concepts are explained."-Irene L. Clark
