Caracteristici

¿  Authoritative and accessible coverage of the writing process, grammar, research, and documentation have made The Little, Brown Handbook one of the best-selling handbooks of all time.
¿  An ideal reference, the handbook features helpful endpapers, over 150 summary and checklist boxes, and a clean, attractive page design.
¿  Meticulous attention to research writing across the disciplines emphasizes managing information, using the library as a Web gateway, evaluating and synthesizing sources, avoiding plagiarism, and documenting sources accurately.
¿  A broad range of student writing across the curriculum includes two annotated MLA research papers and sample essays in the chapters on the writing process (2 papers), critical reading and writing (2 papers), argument, writing about literature (4 papers), APA style, and CSE style.
¿  Extensive presentation of critical thinking and argument includes techniques of critical reading texts and images, specific suggestions for writing arguments, and three sample student papers, including a new critique of an image.

¿  Clear, cross-disciplinary examples and exercises in connected discourse illustrate rhetorical and grammatical concepts with realistic college writing.
¿  MyCompLab integrates instruction, multimedia tutorials, and exercises for writing, grammar, and research with an online composing space and assessment tools. This seamless, flexible environment comes from extensive research in partnership with composition faculty and students across the country. Itprovides help for writers in the context of their writing, with functions for instructors’ and peers’ commentary. Special features include an e-portfolio, a bibliography tool, tutoring services, an assignment-builder, and a gradebook and course-management organization created specifically for writing classes. In addition, an e-book of The Little Brown Handbook integrates the many resources of MyCompLab into the text.
