About the Book

This is a concise version of the popular ""Broadview Guide to Writing"". ""The Broadview Pocket Guide to Writing"" presents in concise form essential material from the more comprehensive text ""The Broadview Guide to Writing"". Included are summaries of key grammatical points and a reference guide to basic grammar; a glossary of usage; tips on writing style; a guide to bias-free writing; coverage of punctuation and writing mechanics; and, helpful advice on Internet research. Also included are sections on argument (including coverage of some basic points in logic) and on writing across the disciplines. ""The Broadview Pocket Guide"" covers citation and documentation in four commonly used styles - MLA (now updated with the 2008 changes), APA, Chicago, and CSE. It features wide range and clarity of coverage, including more examples than most competitors. Many instructors have praised it for not seeming to condescend to the student, for frequently expressing a sense of humour. Open to change in English. This title covers bias-free language. It includes substantial sections in two areas that are not covered extensively by leading competitors: argument (including a discussion of some basic logical principles and fallacies), and academic writing across the disciplines.

Review :
"By far the most readable writing guide available--at any price." - Jacky Bolding, University of the Fraser Valley "It's very good--clear without being condescending." - Jonathan Sadow, State University of New York at Oneonta "The time is right for an inexpensive, no-frills composition text, and The Broadview Guide (4/e) is exactly that." - Richard Spacek, University of New Brunswick "The Broadview Guide to Writing (4/e) registers the seriousness of academic writing yet reads like an amiable conversation with writers." - Robyn Fowler, University of Albe Impressive, especially when compared to more costly yet comparable texts." - Anne Maxham, Antioch University
