Bringing together prominent scholars from a variety of disciplines, "Communicative Practices in Workplaces and the Professions: Cultural Perspectives on the Regulation of Discourse and Organizations" offers readers an engaging set of essays on the complicated relationship between discourse and the many institutions within which people act. Each author brings a unique theoretical perspective to conceptualizing how discourse is regulated and how it regulates when human activity is organized for such purposes as work or belonging to a profession. Together, the contributors to this collection offer a provocatively complex picture of what regulation means and the means of regulation.

"I am pleased at the exceptional quality . . . of the articles. . . . Well-crafted, thoroughly researched. . . . Wonderful to assign to graduate students who need an overview of both accepted and cutting-edge thought on the social perspective in professional writing. . . . All of the overview essays were thoroughly intriguing. . . . This collection blends well the theoretical and the practical, points out the ideological nature of rhetoric and writing in professional environments, and presents new research in the field. I believe this is a strong collection for readers (and researchers) new to social constructionism (and collaboration), for example, graduate students or novice teachers. For experts in the field, this collection provides a few outstanding articles." --Technical Communication Quarterly "For anyone interested in the theory and criticism of technical communication, Professional Communication: The Social Perspective is essential reading. Building on articles submitted to the Journal of Business and Technical Communication during their foudning editorship of that instantly successful journal, Nancy Roundy Blyler and Charlotte Thralls have put together a first-rate collection of mediations and studies on the social perspective in technical communication research and theory." --Jimmie Killingsworth, Ph.D.,
