<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212529;mso-ligatures:none">By Charles Bazerman<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212529;mso-ligatures:none">In <i>Unfinished Business</i>, Charles Bazerman considers long-standing puzzles in writing studies, from the most fundamental ideas about humans as writers and writing as constituting modern
society to the most practical issues of curriculum and teaching. Together, the chapters provide a broad vision of the importance, role, consequences, and means of writing. The opening cluster of chapters places <i>Homo sapiens</i>’ capacity to write within
the biological and cultural evolutionary arc. The second cluster of chapters focuses on how writing has extended and transformed our knowledge with major consequences for us as societies and individuals. The third cluster considers how we go about teaching
this increasingly important skill that gives people voice in the literate world. The fourth reflects on the values and ethical concerns that pervade the practice and teaching of writing. In his final chapter, Bazerman speculates about where writing and writing
instruction may go in the rapidly changing future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
