具体描述

The Little, Brown Compact Handbook with Exercises packages the authority and currency of its best-selling parent, The Little, Brown Handbook, in a briefer book with spiral binding, tabbed dividers, and now more than 150 exercises. Concise and accessible, The Little, Brown Compact Handbook helps writing students find what they need and then use what they find. It provides clear explanations of the writing process, grammar, usage, critical thinking, and argument. Its thorough, up-to-date coverage of research writing stresses the library as Web gateway, evaluation and synthesis of print and online sources, and intellectual honesty. It provides the latest documentation guidelines in MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE styles. The sixth edition comes in two versions, one with and one without exercises. Otherwise identical, both books build on the handbook's best-selling features with three main emphases: (1) writing in and out of college, including new chapters on academic writing in general, writing in the disciplines, study skills, online writing, public writing, and oral presentations; (2) visual literacy, including more on creating illustrations and 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.
