For both new academics and those with some experience, writing articles of publishable quality can be particularly challenging. Developing the necessary skill set requires useful information, hard work, and the type of direction infrequently offered in research methods courses, leaving researchers to piece together resources on their own. This book addresses this critical topic in a format that is easy to teach and understand. It is a practical volume that teaches researchers how to identify their audience, clearly state the nature of their work, provide exceptional literature reviews, cite appropriately, and explicate their research.
The exercises in this book are designed to give intermediate grade students (say Cambridge First Certificate level) practice in the essential tenses in their essential uses. This does not mean that students will not come across other tenses in their reading: they probably will, and will understand their meaning (possibly after the teacher has done some explaining) without much difficulty. But they will not learn how to use them at this stage, which demands skill in the more usual tenses and uses.
Seven years ago in Kansas, Dan Crosby vanished without a trace. His wife Amy, who writes fictional "confessions" articles for True Lies magazine, has not heard a word from him since he disappeared. She prepares to file a legal motion declaring him dead so she can move on with her life and collect his life insurance before she loses their home. However, Amy receives a note from an extortionist... Equal parts mystery and humor, this novel is sure to keep readers guessing—and laughing—until the end.
