Overview

"The book offers a comprehensive guide to writing and style, as well as special applications. With its new emphasis on academic writing, the handbook now presents the research paper alongside the chapters on the writing cycle and provides coverage of reviewing and editing work by peers. Thoroughly revised to reflect the demands of today's freshman composition curriculum, the handbook also includes more exercises, more literate examples, and new coverage of critical thinking. This handbook provides a comprehensive guide to writing and style with an especially strong emphasis on the writing cycle and contains many literate examples, treating the student writer as a colleague, rather than talking down to the reader as many handbooks do. This edition places a distinct emphasis on academic writing by grouping the research paper (includes a new sample paper on the psychological topic of ""Clever Hans"") with the writing process and incorporating critical thinking through chapters 3, 4, and 6. It covers collaboration and peer review in the expanded chapter on revision, and integrates many more exercises, giving students additional practice. New coverage is added in Part X, ""Applied Writing"" and Part XI, ""Tools"" of communicating with FAX machines and writing with a word processor."
