Riassunto:

Beginning from the premise that all academic writing is conversational -- a collegial exchange of ideas, undertaken in a spirit of collaboration in the pursuit of new knowledge -- From Inquiry to Academic Writing demystifies cross-curricular thinking and writing by breaking it down into a series of comprehensible habits and skills (such as inquiry, critical analysis, argumentation, and research) that students can learn in order to enter and contribute to these conversations.
