Focus on Writing is an academic writing program that provides students with essential tools to master not only the key steps in the writing process, but also the grammatical structures, lexical knowledge, and rhetorical modes essential for academic writing.

This five-level series progresses with students as they grow in confidence and ability from sentence level (Book 1) through paragraphs (Books 1–3) and essays (Books 3–5). Each unit leads writers step-by-step through the process of prewriting, writing a first draft, revising, and editing before producing a final draft. Not only do students write an entire paragraph or essay in each unit, they are also given plenty of practice at the sentence and word levels.

В этом кратком введении автор рассматривает анархизм с ряда сторон (теоретической, исторической, интернациональной), представляя воззрения главных анархистских мыслителей от Кропоткина до Хомского. Он смотрит на анархизм критически, оценивая его ключевые идеи, такие как протест против заключения в тюрьмы и бескомпромиссная позиция по отношению к аппарату государствен­ной власти. Он размышляет над тем, может ли анархия функциони­ровать как политическая сила и является ли она более "организо­ванной" и "разумной", чем это кажется в настоящее время? Каж­дый политик, прочитавший краткое изложение Барда, ручается, что анархизм после знакомства с…

The word "anarchism" tends to conjure up images of aggressive protest against government, and-recently-of angry demonstrations against bodies such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. But is anarchism inevitably linked with violent disorder? Do anarchists adhere to a coherent ideology? What exactly is anarchism?

In this "Very Short Introduction", Colin Ward considers anarchism from a variety of perspectives: theoretical, historical, and international, and by exploring major anarchist thinkers from Kropotkin to Chomsky. He looks critically at anarchism by evaluating key ideas within it, such as its blanket opposition to incarceration, and its policy of 'no compromise' with the apparatus of political decision-making. Among the questions he ponders are: can anarchy ever function effectively as a political force? Is it more "organized" and "reasonable" than is currently perceived? Whatever the politics of the reader, Ward's argument ensures that anarchism will be much better understood after reading this book.
