Biography

Rosalind Horowitz is Professor at The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA. Dr. Horowitz has received research funding from a variety of sources including The National Academy of Education USA and was selected by the College of Education and Human Development at The University of Texas at San Antonio for Excellence in Globalism Advancement.

"Fascinating and thorough! I was delighted to learn so much about the process that so many of us often just take for granted. This volume is bound to be the standard reference work on understanding the writing process for decades to come. A work of great breadth and superb scholarship. I expect this volume to be one of the most cited reference works for the international community of scholars and students of writing."

David Berliner, Former President, American Educational Research Association; Professor Emeritus, Educational Psychology, Arizona State University, USA.

"This is a timely book that covers many aspects of one of the most fundamental cultural inventions in human history that changed our mode of thinking and allowed communication across time and space."

René van der Veer, Emeritus Professor, Department of Education, University of Leiden, The Netherlands.

"This masterful volume will be a key resource for scholars of writing for decades to come. It covers the historical development from prehistory to the digital age, and it has something to tell us about writing’s educational, psychological, and sociological dimensions. Horowitz has collected and organized the chapters to come up with a volume that provides new insights into just about every aspect of writing."
