English | 2023 | ISBN: 3111189082 | 152 pages | True PDF | 6.25 MB
There are many 'how-to' books on writing for academics; none of these, however, relate specifically to the discipline of geography. In this book, the author identifies the principle modes of academic writing that graduate students and early-career faculty will encounter - specifically focusing on those forms expected of geographers, that is, those modes that are reviewed by academic peers.
This book is readily accessible to senior undergraduate and graduate students and early-career faculty who may feel intimidated by the process of writing. This volume is not strictly a 'how-to' or 'step-by-step' manual for writing an article or book; rather, through the use of real, concrete examples from published and unpublished works, the author de-mystifies the process of different types of scholarly pieces geographers have to write with the specific needs and challenges of the discipline in mind.
