Like its predecessor, the third edition of A cademic Writing for Graduate Students explains understanding the intended audience, the purpose of the paper, and academic genres; includes the use of task-based methodology, analytic group discussion, and genre consciousness-raising; shows how to write summaries and critiques; features Language Focus sections that address linguistic elements as they affect the wider rhetorical objectives; and helps students position themselves as junior scholars in their academic communities. Among the many changes in the third edition: *newer, longer, and more authentic texts and examples *greater discipline variety in texts (added texts from hard sciences and engineering) *more in-depth treatment of research articles *greater emphasis on vocabulary issues *revised flow-of-ideas section *additional tasks that require students to do their own research *more corpus-informed content *binding that allows the book to lay flat when open. The Commentary (teacher's notes and key) (978-0-472-03506-9) has been revised expanded.

In this book, you will find nothing that you can find in others - in a better way. The authors want to teach you how to write - the first mistake; someone who buys this book knows how to write, but in his/her mother tongue. Then this book will give you some grammar notions: too bad, because any book that prepairs one for the TOEFL, for example, will do it better. Finally, the book will even try to teach how you should behave with your supervisor (in the case you are a graduate student). Come on, this is not what we want to see in a book like this. I would like useful hints on style, not grammar, that would make what I say more understandable for several distinct audiences. We don't find this here.
