Announcing a new free electronic book: Writing Selves/Writing
Societies: Research from Activity Perspectives, edited by Charles
Bazerman and David Russell. The collection is published solely in
electronic format (html and pdf) by The WAC Clearinghouse (writing
studies) and Mind, Culture, Activity (cultural psychology).
This collection brings together fourteen new empirical studies of
writing as it is used in a range of activities-educational,
workplace, civic, and personal. Our goal is to show the commonalties
in research on writing and activity, and to spark interdisciplinary
dialog among researchers who use activity approaches to writing.
The collection also launches a new, non-commercial academic
publishing venture, to provide-free of charge-important new research
on writing in the Perspectives on Writing series from The WAC
Clearinghouse. These online books will cross disciplinary boundaries
and offer research that commercial academic publishers are
increasingly unwilling to support.

Yours,
Charles Bazerman and David R. Russell, editors
P.S. We would very much appreciate it if you would email your
acquisitions librarian and ask that the book be put in your
institution's electronic library catalog (this is also free of
charge). Library catalog listings will make the book much more
widely available.
