"""This book provides an impressive overview of important topics in discourse processing and comprehension, such as cognitive models of reading and conversation; of reading development and writing; and of research methods, from commonly used methods to relatively new methods such as neuroimaging and big data. Importantly, several chapters are co-authored by prominent authors who haven’t previously worked together, which adds significant depth to the handbook.""
