The purpose of this work is to promote ESP reading comprehension among intermediate/advanced students, to focus on top-down processing and to develop successful strategies and activities to integrate reading with writing skills. Among the most interesting chapters in this book are the ones that describe cross-disciplinary variations of the English language, namely legal, technical, business and journalistic registers together with the one entitled "Graphic Text Representations" aimed at the exploitation of visuals to aid the understanding of textual information. The author gives sufficient proof that this is achieved by incorporating graphic organizers to either introduce new data, summarize facts or even complete details not provided in the main text.
