The Broadview Guide to Writing

Increasingly, writing handbooks are seen as over-produced and overpriced. One stands out: The Broadview Guide to Writing is published in an elegant but simple format, and sells for roughly half the price of its fancier-looking competitors. For the sixth edition the coverage of MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE styles of documentation has been substantially expanded as well as updated. Also expanded is coverage of academic argument; of writing and critical thinking; of writing about literature, of paragraphing; of how to integrate quoted material into ones own work; of balance and parallelism; and of issues of gender, race, religion etc. in writing. The chapter Seeing and Meaning: Reading (and Writing About) Visual Images is entirely new. The online materialsincluding the selection of interactive exerciseshave also been revised considerably.
