Description: The memoir of a prominent applied linguist
Review Quotes:
"Though I have been John's friend and colleague for more than 20 years, this volume gave me further insights, particularly into the influences upon his life and work. No doubt others who admire his writing, as well as his contributions to ESP and applied linguistics. They will also benefit from his "narrated experiences," noting how John responded to, learned from, and made remarkably original comments on what he observed in texts and contexts."
--Ann M. Johns, Professor Emerita, San Diego State University/former co-editor with John Swales of English for Specific Purposes Journal
