Studier på universitet och högskola innebär en utmaning för de allra flesta studenter, inte minst vad gäller de höga kraven på läs- och skrivförmåga. Texterna uppfattas ofta som svårtillgängliga och de skriftliga uppgifterna som komplicerade. Så hur gör man då för att ta sig an de högt ställda förväntningarna och planera studierna på ett effektivt sätt? Hur utvecklar man lässtrategier som leder till att man på djupet förstår innehållet i en vetenskaplig text? Och hur gör man för att förbättra sitt eget skrivande i riktning mot ökad anpassning till den akademiska genren och stilnivån?Genom sina resonerande textavsnitt och praktiska övningar ger boken tydlig vägledning i hur man kan utveckla läs- och skrivförmågan i akademiska sammanhang. Författarna beskriver högskolan som studiemiljö, ger konkreta råd om studieteknik och beskriver hur läsningen kan anpassas efter olika syften. De förklarar också hur man utvecklar sitt akademiska skrivande och sin språkfärdighet genom respons från andra samt lyfter fram utmärkande drag i den vetenskapliga texten och i det akademiska språkbruket.I denna andra upplaga av boken har innehållet utvecklats och blivit mer omfattande. Nya övningsuppgifter har tillkommit och till flera finns även lösningsförslag, vilket gör det möjligt att använda boken vid självstudier.Akademiskt läsande och skrivande passar lika väl för kurser vid universitet och högskola som för avancerade kurser i svenska och svenska som andraspråk på gymnasium och i vuxenutbildning. Den kan med fördel kompletteras med boken Muntlig interaktion i akademiska sammanhang.

A memoir of leaving the evangelical church and the search for radical new ways to build community. Jeanna Kadlec knew what it meant to be faithful--in her marriage to a pastor’s son, in the comfortable life ahead of her, in her God--but there was no denying the truth that lived under that conviction: she was queer and, if she wanted to survive, she would need to leave behind the church and every foundational building block she knew.  Heretic is a memoir of rebirth. Within, Kadlec reckons with religious trauma and Midwestern values, as a means of unveiling how evangelicalism directly impacts every American--religious or not--and has been a major force in driving our democracy towards fascism. From the story of Lilith to celebrity purity rings, Kadlec interrogates how her indoctrination and years of piety intersects with her Midwest working-class upbringing. As she navigated graduate school, a new home on the East Coast, and a new marriage, another insidious truth began to reveal itself --that conservative Christianity has both built and undermined our political power structures, poisoned our pop culture, and infected how we interact with one another in ways that the secular population couldn’t see.  Weaving the personal with powerful critique, Heretic explores how we can radically abandon these painful systems by taking a sledgehammer to the comfortable. Whether searching for community in the face of millennial loneliness or wanting to reclaim a secular form of fellowship in everyday life, Kadlec envisions the brilliant possibilities that come with not only daring to want a different way but actually striking out and claiming it for ourselves.

This revolutionary text and its accompanying CD replace a whole lab full of computer equipment. They give computer science students realistic hands-on experience working with network protocols, without requiring all the routers, switches, hubs, and PCs of an actual network. Using the latest version of the open source program Ethereal, the reader opens packet trace files from the CD and follows the text to perform the exercises, gaining a thorough understanding of the material in the best way possible—by seeing it in action. This approach also benefits the instructor, who is spared the time-consuming tasks of maintaining a laboratory and taking traces. It can even relieve the anxiety system administrators have about students collecting traces on campus networks!
