First sentence: This collection looks broadly at the relationships between writing and places, or textuality and places: for instance, how the production of texts and discourse is influenced by the places and environments in which and for which they are produced; how texts and discourse construct places and environments and in turn how these texts influence, affect, and persuade readers; how different cultural and sociopolitical factors affect the production and interpretation of texts that focus on places and environments; and how, in short, writers in various disciplines and professions writers in various disciplines and professions write when they write about places and environments.
