An Emphasis on Writing Power. Chapter 4, "Ten Ways to Invigorate Your Style," suggests ten practical strategies for enlivening your writing.

A Checklist for Correcting Errors. Chapter 12, "Correcting Common Errors," includes as alphabetical listing of twenty-five common stumbling blocks and advice on correcting them.

A Thorough Introduction to the Writing Process. Part One guides you through the writing process―and includes a brief but informative section on how to construct a persuasive argument.

Tools for Research Writing. part Three includes a separately tabbed chapter on MLA and APA documentation styles, information on using the internet for research, and an annotated sample student paper in MLA format.

A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others.
