More detailed than a pocket handbook yet briefer than a concise handbook, HARBRACE ESSENTIALS WITH RESOURCES FOR WRITING IN THE DISCIPLINES, 3rd Edition provides all the authority of the Harbrace tradition in an ideal length and portable format. Clear and concise explanations outline the essentials students need to write their papers, including instruction on the rhetorical contexts that affect their choice of grammatical constructions, style, punctuation and mechanics, as well as strategies for writing paragraphs and essays, conducting research, documenting sources from a variety of style guides and writing papers in a variety of disciplines. True to its work, this version of the ESSENTIALS shows students how to transfer what theyre learning in the English courses to other disciplines, their community work and the workplace.
