In this third edition, the Asian content has been expanded and more local examples are given. These are mainly based on research studies done by academics. Each chapter begins by stating its objectives so that readers know what to expect. Key concepts are highlighted and discussion questions are provided at the end of each chapter. Extensive references are also included to aid learning and further research. The text has also been written in a style that is more familiar to Asian readers.

This broad view helps one identify the root causes of issues and target solutions for them. Big Fish Eat Small Fish is a simple tale which brings system thinking to the layperson in a concrete way. It is set in the scene of an underwater world where different species and sizes of fishes once lived harmoniously with each other. However, this paradise soon turned into a war zone when the population exploded and their staple food became scarce. From this exquisite story, one can identify the common problems that we face in life and learn how to tackle these problems at the root and avoid what can be avoided.

ISBN: 983-2639-28-X 2004, Paper, 336 pages ISBN: 981-244-645-1 2004, Paper, 240 pages 61 THINK YOUR WAY TO EFFECTIVE WRITING Third Edition Antonia Chandrasegaran and Kirsten Schaetzel Think Your Way to Effective Writing shows students how to improve their writing by thinking rhetorically and attending to the social dimension of written discourse. This socio- rhetorical approach is based on current theories of composition, which take into account the socio-cultural situation in which writing occurs, the social function of the written product, the relationship between writer and reader, and their respective social roles with reference to a piece of writing. Unlike conventional writing texts which tend to only describe desired features of the finished essay or letter, Think Your Way to Effective Writing demonstrates the thinking and writer-reader interaction processes which will enable students to produce the desired features. Examples and exercises are provided for students to experience the kind of thinking and situation awareness underlying effective academic writing. Composed of two parts, Part A teaches, in a step-by-step fashion, the thought processes involved in a socio-rhetorical approach to academic and functional writing. Part B is designed to guide post-graduate students through the thinking and writing processes involved in successful thesis or dissertation writing. About the Authors Antonia Chandrasegaran, an Associate Professor at the National Institute of Education, Singapore, teaches academic writing to teacher trainees and post-graduate students. Her research interest is in the area of academic writing and the development of writing skills across the curriculum. Kirsten Schaetzel, an Assistant Professor at the National Institute of Education, Singapore, has taught academic writing in Singapore, Macao, Bangladesh, and the United States.
