Based on Andrea’s groundbreaking research on the literacy revolution, this teachable handbook shows students how to reflect on the writing skills they already have and put them to use both in traditional academic work and in multimodal projects like blog posts, websites, and presentations. Integrated advice on U.S. academic genres and language follows best practices for helping students from both international and native-speaker backgrounds improve their understanding of academic English. Throughout The St. Martin’s Handbook, Andrea Lunsford encourages all of today’s students to learn everything they need to communicate effectively with the diverse people sharing their classrooms, workspaces, and civic lives.

The one quality of English is its flexibility. Right behind flexibility is adaptability. You can say anything that you are thinking in a myriad of ways. The local college said do not waste your time with grammar classes.This is fine and works well until you listen to the evening news. "The police are looking for a suspect that ran" They are not particular as to which suspect, just any that ran.One of my favorite is in the movie "The Thin Man" (1934), Nora says "It says that you ware shot twice in the Tabloids.", Nick says "They never came near my tabloids."Unix is built on the premise that less is more. Unless you have to do something precise, use less command options.However once in a while you will need to be precise and if you are addressing a precise audience it is best to know the preferred syntax. This book can help guide you through the process of "Proper" English.Keep it next to the dictionary and read it periodically on sleepless nights.

This is the only textbook that I've ever rented that I have regretted not buying. This textbook is a good companion when writing any style of paper and I plan to buy it in the future.

This was a required textbook for my writing classes this year and it was pretty helpful with helping me remember how to do mla and apa citations, but that was about it. The rest of it hasn't helped me at all. Thanks college.

Arrived in perfect condition. A great reference book for writing. It was required for my English class but I'll definitely be looking back at it for future papers.

It's great it was just what I was looking for and at a lower price than what I would have originally paid

College textbook for my daughter. Over half the price less than the college bookstore.

This is an outstanding book. Especially for first-year writing course... A must...

Very well written and lots of good information in this book. Very easy to read.
