“Back to the Lake” guides students through the process of reading critically, analyzing texts, synthesizing ideas, and developing their own arguments. It also covers the fundamental moves of academic writing, from research to revision. The book is in good condition, while it has been previously used. However some of the front pages of the book have been bend as I mentioned earlier that it has been previously used. However there are no ripped pages in the book, so that’s something not to worry about.
