A comprehensive overview of important contemporary issues in the field of reading research from the mid 1980s to mid 1990s, this well-received volume offers readers an examination of literacy through a variety of lenses--some permitting microscopic views and others panoramic views. A veritable "who's who" of specialists in the field, chapter authors cover current methodology, as well as cumulative research-based knowledge. Because it deals with society and literacy, the first section provides the broadest possible view of literacy. The second section defines the range of activities culturally determined to be a part of the enterprise known as literacy. The third focuses on the processes that individuals engage in when they perform the act of reading. The fourth section visits the environment in which the knowledge that comprises literacy is passed on from one generation to the next. The last section, an epilogue to the whole enterprise of reading research, provides apt philosophical reflection.
In Volume III, as in Volumes I and II, the classic topics of
reading are included--from vocabulary and comprehension to reading
instruction in the classroom--and, in addition, each contributor
was asked to include a brief history that chronicles the legacies
within each of the volume's many topics. However, on the whole,
Volume III is not about tradition. Rather, it explores the verges
of reading research between the time Volume II was published in
1991 and the research conducted after this date. The editors
identified two broad themes as representing the myriad of verges
that have emerged since Volumes I and II were published: (1)
broadening the definition of reading, and (2) broadening the
reading research program. The particulars of these new themes and
topics are addressed.

This text is especially well-suited for use in upper-level undergraduate and graduate-level reading research methods courses.
