The Little English Handbook: Choices and Conventions

From its first edition, this pocket-sized handbook has concentrated on helping students to avoid the most common and persistent writing problems. It serves as a brief guide to the essentials of grammar, style, paragraphing, punctuation and mechanics. Additionally, it addresses the research paper format, personal and business letters, and resumes, and features a list of the most commonly misspelled words as well as a glossary of their usage. In addition to coverage of MLA and APA documentation styles, this seventh edition features CBE documentation information, as well as a new MLA sample research paper. Also new to this edition is the glossary of grammatical terms with highlighted entries of interest to ESL students. Finally, new and additional examples of faulty sentences, along with their revisions, have been added in many of the sections.
