The "Writing Across the Curriculum" (WAC) movement started in the early 1970s and gathered steam as it became apparent that making every subject a writing subject worked in the classroom. Here pioneer change agents of the movement share their experiences with those who want to start or restart a local effort. They cover WAC in undergraduate education, a university/schools partnership for a project at George Mason U., the growth of research communities, the start of WAC in the California state university system and in the Ivy League, the growth of WAC as a community in Montana, WAC at the national level, lessons for today in early WAC community experiences in gender and discipline, WAC in the Michigan Tech curriculum, and a narrative of 15 years' duration of the events at the writing retreat at Wildacres. Each contribution includes a bibliography. Annotation 2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
