"[A] landmark volume in the field of postsecondary literacy….[T]he wide range of topics addressed and recommendations provided for classroom practice and future research studies ensure that this third edition of the Handbook of College Reading and Study Strategy Research will remain a useful resource for the field."--Journal of College Reading and Learning, 49: 146-149, 2019"Indeed, if the field of postsecondary reading and study strategies is to survive and prosper, it is critical for all involved to collaborate. This third edition of the Handbook of College Reading and Study Strategy Research serves as a platform for encouraging and exploring ‘partnerships across the not so invisible divide’ (Flippo & Bean, 2018, p. xi). Equally important, the handbook can be a catalyst for advancing and continuing conversations locally and globally, which will help both scholars and practitioners continue to make informed decisions that help promote success for all students."--Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy 63(5), March 2020
