{"product_id":"how-writing-works-dominic-wyse-9781316636060","title":"How Writing Works: From the Invention of the Alphabet to the Rise of Social Media","description":"From the invention of the alphabet to the explosion of the internet, Dominic Wyse takes us on a unique journey into the process of writing. Starting with seven extraordinary examples that serve as a backdrop to the themes explored, it pays particular attention to key developments in the history of language, including Aristotle's grammar through socio-cultural multimodality, to pragmatist philosophy of communication. Analogies with music are used as a comparator throughout the book, yielding radically new insights into composition processes. The book presents the first comprehensive analysis of the Paris Review interviews with the world's greatest writers such as Louise Erdrich, Gabriel Garcia M疵quez, Ted Hughes, and Marilynne Robinson. It critically reviews the most influential guides to styles and standards of language, and presents new research on young people's creativity and writing. Drawing on over twenty years of findings, Wyse presents research-informed innovative practices to demonstrate powerfully how writing can be learned and taught.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominic Wyse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316636062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316636060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.18w x 0.49d","brand":"Dominic Wyse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44122928808191,"sku":"9781316636060","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20f9fbc7-1442-42d6-85a3-39a0fed2fd8d.jpg?v=1687427926","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-writing-works-dominic-wyse-9781316636060","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
