contemporary computers and writing community. Its six chapters
engage critical issues, including redefining the community's
generally accepted history, connecting its contemporary innovators
with its long-standing spirit of innovation, advocating for
increased access and diversity, and more. Between chapters, readers
will find "Community Voices" sections, which provide a snapshot of
the contemporary computers and writing community and introduce, in
a non-hierarchical form, more than 100 of its members from around
the world, in their own voices.
To move beyond the level of beginners' Japanese, it is necessary to master new vocabulary, kanji and expressions, as well as grammatical structures and communication strategies, and to practice each of these in their various usages. This can only be achieved through a systematic approach that builds on each aspect of the language in an organic way and respectively links them to the language as a whole. This intermediate Japanese textbook has been designed to meet these needs. The scope and order of the contents enables Japanese language learners to take the leap from the beginners' level to the intermediate level with general competence in the language in its many manifestations. Equal emphasis has been placed on the four functions of listening, speaking, reading and writing, through natural examples of the language incorporated in the kaiwa (conversation) and yomimono (reader) sections of each chapter. The main texts cover multiple language, levels, including sentences ending in desu/masu and da, both men's and women's language, and honorifics. The latter half of the text is a collection of real-life material. Comprehensive explanations of grammar and expressions are provided in the Grammar notes section. In addition, the Practice section enables students to familiarize themselves with functional expressions for purposes such as making requests, obtaining permission and extending invitations. The main texts and the Culture Notes and Speed Reading sections are packed with information on contemporary Japanese customs, culture and social phenomena. In this way they constitute an incisive guide to Japanese society.

This collection of first-person essays by established authors provides a wealth of support and insights for new and experienced academic writers in language education and multicultural studies. Although writing for publication is becoming increasingly important as these fields become both more professional and more competitive, few scholars talk candidly about their experiences negotiating a piece of writing into print. These essays will help researchers, practitioners, and graduate students expand their understanding of what it means--professionally and personally--to write for publication. Carefully crafted, focused, and provocative, the chapters in this volume document authors' experiences with a range of practical, political, and personal issues in writing for publication. Many portray the hardship and struggle that are not obvious in a finished piece of writing. Readers are encouraged to resonate with the events and issues portrayed, and to connect the narratives to their own lives. Practical information, such as contact information for journal and book publishers, manuscript guidelines, and useful books are included in appendices. Although organized thematically, the essays in Writing for Scholarly Publication: Behind the Scenes in Language Education overlap in many ways as each author considers multiple issues: *In the Introduction, the editors discuss key aspects of writing for scholarly publication, such as writing as situated practice, issues faced by newcomers, the construction of personal identity through writing, writing and transparency, facets of the interactive nature of scholarly writing, and intertwined political issues. *Part I focuses on issues and concerns faced by "Newcomers." *In Part II, "Negotiating and Interacting," the essays closely examine the interactions among authors, editors, manuscript reviewers, and collaborators; these interactions tend to be the least often discussed and these essays therefore offer readers fascinating insights into the sensitive social, political, and personal relationships among the many players in the scholarly writing game. *"Identity Construction" is addressed in Part III, where authors share their experiences with and reflections on the ways that professional writing helps them construct their identities as writers and scholars. *The essays in Part IV, "From the Periphery," help redefine what the notion of "periphery" might mean, from a concept with a negative connotation of "outsider" to a positive connotation of active and unconventional participant.
