Description

This mid-sized reference combines in-depth coverage of good writing, research, and grammar skills with an abundance of exercises—all at an affordable price. Written in the accessible style that made Keys for Writers a success, this engaging text addresses such current topics as ESL learning, visual literacy, and writing beyond college, encouraging students to keep this handbook open. Four-color coverage of visual rhetoric and document design—unique in this market—sets this handbook apart. Students learn how to visually convey ideas through a variety of media such as tables, web sites, and PowerPoint slides. In addition, they benefit from Raimes' signature "differences, not deficits" coverage of multilingual perspectives. Two four-color chapters on document design and visual literacy feature examples of web sites, PowerPoint slides, academic essay design, and tables and charts, along with coverage of visual rhetoric, such as using visuals to make an argument. The author's popular language transfer guides—more practical than ever—focus on multilingual transfer errors. A practical, context-based discussion of plagiarism appears in Chapters 37 and 40 and includes key strategies for avoiding different types of plagiarism. Distinctive Language and Culture boxes examine cross-cultural and multicultural aspects of writing. Chapter 8, a full chapter on style, includes the exceptional and memorable "5 C's of Style" (cut, check for action, connect, commit, and choose the right words), unique to the Raimes handbooks. The grammar section focuses on common errors students make; the author's tone is clear, direct, and coaching. Exercises based on diverse and engaging readings allow students to practice new writing skills. Coverage of writing across the curriculum, at work, and in the community appears in Part Nine, "Writing Throughout College—And Beyond." This section addresses a full spectrum of writing needs, including writing online in many contexts, writing in the disciplines, writing in the community, and writing reacute;sumeacute;s and personal statements.
