The Nuts and Bolts of College Writing
The Nuts and Bolts of College Writing
Engagingly written and illustrated with scores of telling examples, this plainspoken how-to book for college writers identifies those qualities that most typically distinguish good writing from bad and provides practical measures for avoiding pitfalls. Included are do's and don'ts for achieving concision, clarity, and flow, as well as pointers on using punctuation, writing gracefully, citing sources, and structuring persuasive writing. <P>Championing "the plain style" with a keen appreciation for the uses to which language can be put'—including abuses to which it is prone' —The Nuts and Bolts of College Writing is a guide that never fails to remind readers why good writing matters so much in the first place, in college and beyond.

A worthy successor to Strunk and White. . . . Highly recommended. -- Choice, April 2004
Simply the best guide to clear and effective writing since Strunk and White. Indispensable for students. --Terry Nardin, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
