Based on their many years of experience, the authors have structured
the book so as to build students? confidence in their own writing
ability whilst at the same time respecting conventional ideas of what
is, and what is not, acceptable in the academic domain. To reinforce
student learning, the material is presented using a wealth of clear
examples, hands-on tasks with answers, and logical sequences that build
on earlier chapters. The first two sections of the book address the
preparation and writing of assignments and research projects, while the
third provides a useful toolkit containing reference materials on areas
including punctuation, grammar and academic terminology.
Instructions and diagrams for fashioning such simple objects as a flower, Japanese box, and church as well as more challenging projects such as a squirrel on a log, birds in a nest, a unicorn, and a full-rigged sailing ship. Over 30 entertaining projects for origami fans of all ages and abilities.
