Broadview Guide to Writing Book

The Broadview Guide to Writing 2/e is a concise yet uncommonly thorough text with a fresh approach to the craft of essay writing. The first part of the book discusses the style and structure of essay writing, along with a useful discussion of the intangibles involved in creating such essays such as confidence, perseverance, and a willingness to deal with criticism constructively. The second part of the book provides thorough coverage of grammar and usage with a comprehensive reference guide that ranges from the simplest mechanical issues (such as subject-verb agreement) to subtle distinctions between words that have similar meanings. A wide range of examples is included. The new edition has been updated throughout.
