| Abstract
|
:
|
The Little, Brown Handbook provides reliable and thorough coverage of such handbook basics as the writing process, grammar, research, and documentation, while also giving detailed discussions of critical reading and writing in academic situations, study skills, argument, using computers and the Internet (for both writing and research), writing in the disciplines, writing for public audiences, and oral presentations. Widely used by students at all levels, LBH works as a comprehensive classroom text as well as an accessible reference guide. The tenth edition features three new emphases: (1) reading and writing in college, including new chapters on academic writing and study skills along with expanded coverage of critical thinking and argument; (2) visual literacy, including more on creating and using illustrations, more on viewing images critically, and new coverage of visual argument; (3) research writing, including more on using library subscription services and evaluating Web sites, new annotated sample pages from key source types, and new coverage of annotated bibliographies, Web logs, and finding images. --Publisher's description.
