"Even the most useful reference guides are not always, well, shall
we say, riveting. A refreshing exception is the new Broadview Guide
to Writing, which is smart, helpful, and even fun to read." -Gerald
Graff and Cathy Birkenstein, authors of They Say / I Say: The Moves
That Matter in Academic Writing Key Features -A coil-bound
reference text suitable for a range of introductory composition and
writing courses -Divided into three sections: Writing Processes
(including Research, Argumentation, and Style) Writing Mechanics
(Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation) Writing Contexts (Writing in
different academic disciplines, Forms and conventions, and
citation) -Comprehensive treatment of citation style guides, with
2016 MLA style updates -Expanded treatment of research methods,
argument structures, and writing in the workplace -A unique section
on "How to Be Good With Words"-issues of gender, race, class,
religion, sexual orientation, disability, etc. -Expanded coverage
for those whose native language is not English -All-new chapter on
reading images -Extensive companion website featuring interactive
exercises Increasingly, writing handbooks are seen as over-produced
and overpriced. One stands out: The Broadview Guide to Writing is
published in an elegant but simple format, and sells for roughly
half the price of its fancier-looking competitors. That does not
change with the new edition; what does change and stay up-to-date
is the content of the book. The sixth edition brings a substantial
re-organization of the contents under three headings: Writing
Processes, Writing Mechanics, and Writing Contexts. Coverage of
APA, Chicago, and CSE styles of documentation has been
substantially expanded, and the MLA section has now been fully
revised to take into account all the 2016 changes. Also expanded is
coverage of academic argument; of writing and critical thinking; of
writing about literature, of paragraphing; of how to integrate
quoted material into one's own work; of balance and parallelism;
and of issues of gender, race, religion etc. in writing. The
chapter "Seeing and Meaning: Reading (and Writing About) Visual
Images" is entirely new to the sixth edition.
