Synopsis
With more in-depth guidance to the grammar, style, and rhetoric of American academic English than any other handbook available, The Ready Reference Handbook has become the perfect choice not only for traditional students but also for those whose primary language is not English, as well as for courses that emphasize the need for global communication skills. The Ready Reference Handbook teaches students how to write successfully in both academic and public contexts. Expanding this treatment of the writing process, almost 70 special text features (Writing in the USA and ESL Grammar Notes), as well as an expanded Part V, Guide for Multilingual Writers, provide a wide range of support for students whose primary language is not English. In addition, new marginal icons send students to an integrated Companion Website for additional exercises and links to other Web resources. "How to!" boxes focus on key guidelines to successful writing and "Focus On!" charts on each tabbed divider direct students to the essential topics in each section of the book. Easy to use and always encouraging, this handbook provides students with the ultimate quick reference guide for any writing situation.
