The Series provides compact, comprehensive
and convenient surveys of what has been learned through research and
practice as composition has emerged as an academic discipline over thelast half century. Each volume
is devoted to a single topic that has been of interest in rhetoric and
composition in recent years, to synthesize and make available the sum
and parts of what has been learned on that topic. These reference
guides are designed to help deepen classroom practice by making available
the collective wisdom of the field and will provide the basis for new
research. The Series is intended to be of use to teachers at all levels
of education, researchers and scholars of writing, graduate students
learning about the field, and all who have interest in or responsibility
for writing programs and the teaching of writing.
