'Over the last decade, Ken Hyland has emerged as a leading world authority on both academic discourse and English for academic purposes. His combined expertise is fully evident in this latest "advanced resource book". The twelve themes in the opening section offer not only a solid introduction to the field, but also give full attention to current controversies. In the middle section the themes are then illustrated with contextualized extracts from the EAP literature. Finally, in Section C, the themes are further explored through a splendidly-crafted series of reflective and analytical tasks. This volume will surely be widely adopted for graduate courses and modules dealing with ESP/EAP while remaining of great interest to teachers and researchers in a fast-growing field.' - John Swales, University of Michigan, USA
