Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"It is among the best of the brief handbooks and answers a wide range of compositional needs."
"This is the most comprehensive [brief] handbook I have seen."
"There is no better reference tool for the student beginning college research than THE BRIEF HANDBOOK."
"My favorite things are: . . . the 'survival skills'--students often read this on their own because the label attracts them. I'd imagine that this is the only place they get good advice on writing in-class exams."
"The authors, while holding true to the elements and expectations of a brief handbook, had the forethought to include and examine Critical Thinking and Argument--the two aspects of writing required by every good collegiate-level teacher. This welcomed addition will change the landscape of "brief" handbooks."
