  • "Offering the most successful combination of critical reading and writing instruction available at the college level, The St. Martin's Guide to Writing has helped more than two million students learn to write effectively. To make The Guide an even more useful companion for today's students and instructors, the seventh edition extends a clear, consistent invitation to students to move directly from reading the text to working online, while offering frequent help with the distinctive issues they encounter there, It also provides detailed new advice on specific sentence strategies useful for each genre, updated and expanded guidelines for research and documentation, and fourteen new readings. Now included free with the text, the award-winning Writing Guide Software wraps the book's writing guides around students' own word-processing software, integrating Axelrod and Cooper's step-by-step guidelines into the electronic writing process that students now find most familiar. Frequent cross-references in the text direct students to the software, which also includes a sample student essay with pop-up annotations, an electronic journal, a diagnostic test, tutorials, and an error log. - Cover."
  • "This volume is a college level rhetoric textbook. Rhetoric is the art and study of the use of language with persuasive effect. This work offers strategies to get students started, combining advice on critical reading, working with sources, and careful revision. The authors offer guidance on visual rhetoric, online teaching and learning, and ideas for instructors to incorporate these topics into their courses. It reflects and builds on the actual writing processes of students and attempts to prepare them for the writing they will do in other college courses."
  • "This textbook provides instruction in college level rhetoric and writing. It offers readings, a research manual, a handbook and supports a range of approaches to teaching and learning, including collaboration, visual rhetoric, personal writing, writing about literature, writing in the community and the workplace, field research, portfolios, oral presentations, essay exams, and ESL. It contains step-by-step guides to writing specific kinds of essays -- remembering events, writing profiles, explaining a concept, finding common ground, arguing a position, proposing a solution, justifying an evaluation, speculating about causes, and interpreting stories. Because so much college writing requires strong argumentation skills, four of the assignment chapters focus on argumentative writing, and a separate strategies chapter covers theses, reasons and support, counterarguments, and logical fallacies. Three full chapters on research give students useful strategies not only for conducting field, library, and Internet research, but also for evaluating sources; deciding whether to quote, paraphrase, or summarize; avoiding plagiarism; and documenting sources. The authors have included 39 readings by well-known authors and various "fresh" voices, including 12 students, providing well-written examples of the different types of essays and papers that students might be asked to complete."
