Product Description
A truly portable reference guide, offering coverage of all of the topics that you would expect to find in a bigger and more expensive handbook, now can be customized for nine different disciplines! Features This compact (only 208 pages) and inexpensive quick reference guide can be used as a main text or as a supplement in any course. Colored bars that identify major sections of the book correspond to the bars on the cover, providing a quick and easy access tool. Close-up boxes that explain concepts in greater detail are identified with a magnifying glass icon. Computer icons identify information that students will use as they write and revise papers on their computers. MLA, APA, CMS, CBS, and COS styles of documentation are covered. Three complete student papers are presented in order to illustrate the writing process and MLA and APA documentation.
