About the Book

The tabbed section dividers, comb-binding, and accessible 2-color format of this compact handbook — now with a new chapter on Critical Thinking and more extensive coverage of Internet research — will help students find the information they need on grammar, usage, and every phase of the writing and research process. The newly revised, action-oriented “How to…” boxes are even more accessible and provide writers with constructive guidelines for advancing their compositions at every step, from invention through revision and editing. Abundant practical suggestions assist students with assignments in composition classes and with specialized assignments in other writing-intensive classes. Praised by reviewers for its user-friendly tone, The Ready Reference Handbook gives students positive encouragement in solving editing problems and writing effective essays.
