The St. Martin's Guide to Writing book by Rise B. Axelrod

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.
