From the Inside Flap
(back cover)
This new and expanded edition fills a double purpose as both a useful classroom text and a practical style manual for writers. You'll find a review of English grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and correct word usage, as well as advice on how to adapt your writing style to different formats, from classroom assignments to business documents and electronic communication. You will also find detailed instruction on essay writing--outlining your subject, writing a rough draft, and editing and polishing it into a finished composition. New in this edition is a sample research paper that uses online sources and follows the popular MLA style for footnotes.
