William Zinsser’s Writing to Learn shows students how to write clearly about any subject—from mathematics, physics and chemistry to art and music—and how to use writing as a means of learning. In his warm and engaging style, Zinsser dispels students’ fear of writing, and he shows them that the process of writing can help them understand a subject that they always thought they had no aptitude for. Taking students into many surprising corners of knowledge, Zinsser provides proof that every field has an accessible literature.
