Specifically, this pertains to non fiction writing in the general topics. If you have read an article nicely titled but poorly executed then this book will give you hope for the next generation of nonfiction writers. Excerpts from several authors in the major fields that are sweet enough to make me want to add to my shelf of want-to reads. As a bonus it's a good read at the end of year or beginning of new year. Also recommended for your emerging writer Review: Worked for me! - Another reviewer noted that the author makes the point that, "Only two chapters--9 and 11--specifically demonstrate writing as a method of learning." Almost all the other chapters are essentially examples of good writing. Here is how he suggested you should read the book if you are trying to gain the most important information: “Chapter 4, Writing to Learn, discusses the relationship between clear thinking and writing. It's helpful to review as it notes other important books in the field that discuss the topic of thinking and writing. Chapter 5, Crotchets and Convictions, is one of the most important chapters in the book. This chapter gives the reader a crash course in writing, and is one of the most helpful things I've read in my life. Chapter 9 & Chapter 10. These two chapters discuss the idea of using writing to learn things.” And then went on to suggest you can read other chapters of examples at your leisure, which is what I did. Those suggestions worked for me. Kudos to the reviewer, Peter Soares! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #29,342 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Rhetoric (Books) #8 in Academic & Scholarly Writing #26 in Fiction Writing Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (1,136) | | Dimensions | 5.31 x 0.61 x 8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0062720406 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0062720405 | | Item Weight | 10.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | June 4, 1993 | | Publisher | Harper Perennial | ## Images ![Writing To Learn - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hXwg0mCSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learning with purpose thru writing *by A***S on January 5, 2025* True to the title the writing in this book is organized, crafted with skill, and understandable to the point of learning.
