Recensioner i media

This is a tremendously useful book! I’ve used the First edition of The Student Phrase Book extensively as a desk companion, recommended it to university and college colleagues and given copies of it to all members of my family heading off to be students, so I am delighted to endorse this new edition of the book which is even more useful. What I really value is the way it demystifies the complex discourses of ‘academese’ so that anyone who feels out of their depth with some of the terminology can find reassurance and explanation within it. Using down-to-earth language to explain contested topics like ‘critical evaluation’ and ‘deconstruction’, Jeanne also provides really accessible examples showing good and ‘not-yet-good’ usage. If every student used this book, they would make their own lives so much easier, not to mention that of the academics and professional support staff working with them. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
