"While those in the fields of linguistics and communication have the most to gain from the studies in Royce and Bowcher's collection, students as well as researchers in rhetoric, composition, English as a Second Language, and education will find particular selections in the text to be compelling and relevant to their own areas of scholarship. Indeed, this collection delivers on its promise to explore 'new directions' and new methods for analyzing multimodal discourse." --Christine Denecker, The University of Findlay, The CEA Forum
