<DIV>The authors of <i>Academic Writing for Graduate Students</i> have written a book for the next level of second language writing. <i>English in Today's Research World</i> offers students a very high level of writing instruction, with a specific focus on the projects students undertake--such as dissertations and conference abstracts--at the end of their university work or as they begin careers in research or academia.<br>In addition to instruction on writing for publication, <i>English in Today's Research World</i> provides needed advice on applications, recommendations, and requests--types of communications that are particularly vulnerable to influences from national cultural expectations and conventions and that, therefore, place the NNS writer at increased disadvantage.<br>The text is both a reference manual and a course book, so that researchers can continue to use the book after they have completed their formal education. New ESL/EFL teachers can use <i>English in Today's Research World</i> as a reference book for themselves or as a teaching aid in the classroom.<br><br></div>
