The Little, Brown Compact Handbook with Exercises
packages the authority and currency of its best-selling
parent, The Little, Brown Handbook, in a briefer book
with a spiral binding, tabbed dividers, and more than
150 exercises. A bestseller since publication, The
Little, Brown Compact Handbook with Exercises provides
reliable and thorough coverage of handbook basics--the
writing process, grammar and usage, research and
documentation--while also giving detailed discussions of
critical reading, academic writing, argument, writing in
the disciplines, and public writing. Widely used by both
experienced and inexperienced writers, The Little, Brown
Compact Handbook with Exercises works as both a
comprehensive classroom text and an accessible reference
guide. The Little, Brown Compact Handbook with Exercises
has a sibling without exercises. Otherwise identical,
both books build on their best-selling features with
five emphases: (1) media-rich eText and iPad versions,
including video tutorials, podcasts, sample documents,
exercise, and checklists;(2)academic writing, including
a new chapter on joining the academic community, new
coverage of genre, more on summary and academic
integrity, and four new sample academic papers; (3)
research writing, including new material on finding and
evaluating Web sites, social-networking sites, blogs,
wikis, and multimedia; (4) thorough and up-to-date
documentation guidelines, including the most recent
versions of MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE styles with
models of new media in each style and new annotated
sample sources; (5) thewriting process, including new
material on genre and strengthened discussions of the
thesis and paragraphs. |
