Reviews:
“Fascinating and thorough! I was delighted to learn so much about the
process that many of us just take for granted. The volume is bound to
be the standard reference work on understanding the writing process
for decades to come. A work of great depth 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 and Professor Emeritus, Arizona State University.
“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, Professor Emeritus, 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 social 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.”
James V. Wertsch, Vice Chancellor for International Affairs,
Distinguished University Professor Emeritus, Washington University,
St. Louis.
