Engaging and direct, Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace is the guidebook for anyone who wants to write well.  

• Clear, accessible prose provides model for good writing in any context.
• “Here’s the Point” summaries provide quick and easy reviews of important material, and exercises throughout encourage readers to work and learn with others.  
• Lesson Ten offers unique guidance on the ethics of prose and discussing complex language issues in a clear, understandable style.
• Contemporary examples and exercises are relevant to student concerns.
• A wealth of epigrams provide witty support for the ten lessons.

• A new three-part structure ( Understanding, Diagnosis and Revision,   Summing Up) makes lessons easier to navigate.
• New examples are featured in Lessons Five and Six.  
• New Epilogue (Epilogue 2) focuses on strategies to motivate readers to read attentively.   A rewritten Epilogue 1 focuses on creating coherence in paragraphs, sections, and whole documents.
