There are two good series of books on writing in specific disciplines, one by Oxford University Press and one by Longman. We have chosen to primarily to recommend books in the Longman series because they offer more detail about how students can learn to think and write the way practicing academics in the field do, but both series are excellent. However, please aware that these books generalize about discipline-specific writing and do not necessarily represent the writing requirements in your program, so always go to your professors with assignment related questions.
