The New Century, Fourth Edition, provides the answers today's students need as writers and researchers in an electronic age.  This handbook shows students how to use new technologies to make appropriate rhetorical choices and to become more successful college writers in all of their courses, while also providing clear, comprehensive coverage of handbook basics–writing, grammar and usage, research, and documentation.  

• Comprehensive, accessible coverage of the writing process, grammar, research, and documentation–the basics of handbook coverage–make this a complete and easy-to use reference for both students and instructors.                       
•  Part 3, “Writing in the Disciplines,” provides comprehensive, authoritative coverage of writing in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, clearly explaining the conventions of research and writing in the different disciplines.
• The most current and comprehensive coverage available of the electronic tools students have to write and research includes Weblink boxes that send students directly to the best and most authoritative online writing and research resources.
• More than 15 sample student papers and examples illustrate writing both as a process and as a finished product, and allow readers to follow sample online searches..
• Over 70 engaging exercises provide practice at every step of the writing process, and “For Collaboration” exercises facilitate the process of peer review and working in groups.
• Four chapters on ESL topics cover key issues for multilingual students whose first language is not English, and for Generation 1.5 learners.  
• A comprehensive Companion Website includes a wide array of resources–audio and video explanations of key concepts, weblinks, practical help on key writing and research tasks–as well as gradable versions of all the exercises in the book and more.

• A shift in focus from describing available technologies to a focus on technological functionality–how to use electronic resources to make appropriate technological and rhetorical choices in a rapidly expanding electronic universe–makes this the handbook of choice for today’s students.
• More coverage of plagiarism than any other handbook, includes specific guidance on using online sources and avoiding dangers of unintentional plagiarism, with clear models showing sources and sample plagiarized material. 
• An extensive Cross Curricular Resource Atlas provides maps, primary documents, basic disciplinary vocabulary, and an illustrated timeline including major political, cultural, and historical events from 10,000 BCE to the present to support student writing in other disciplines.
• More guidance on finding, evaluating, and documenting research sites and sources includes a completely revised full chapter on Evaluating Print and Web Sources (Ch. 10) with specific guidelines for evaluating web sites based on the reliability of domains.
• Expanded sections on MLA and APA documentation, with visual source samples–copies of actual title and copyright pages and screen shots–lets students see where documentation information appears in the sources they use, and also includes current information on the new CSE style guidelines.
• Grammar coverage–the basic core of any handbook–now includes more accessible explanations with less grammatical “jargon” and new Common Errors boxes to make rules and guidelines easier to find and remember.
• A full chapter on Electronic Communication (Ch. 23) explores the rhetorical differences among electronic formats (text messages, instant messages, blogs, and the like) and helps students make choices based on audience and purpose, enabling them to produce appropriate, effective, and persuasive college writing.
• TechHelp boxes offer specific guidance for finding research and grammar resources and software functionalities that can support student writing. 
• TechALERTS warn students about over-reliance on technology, from Wikipedia and Google Scholar to grammar and spell checkers, and also point out the dangers of transferring online language–electronic abbreviations and emoticons–into an academic setting.
• Marginal GO buttons direct students to a wide range of additional resources on the New Century’s freeCompanion Website.

  The New Century, Fourth Edition, provides the answers today's students need as writers and researchers in an electronic age.  This handbook shows students how to use new technologies to make appropriate rhetorical choices and to become more successful college writers in all of their courses, while also providing clear, comprehensive coverage of handbook basics—writing, grammar and usage, research, and documentation.  

   

  Authors Christine Hult and Tom Huckin bring their expertise in research, computers and writing, grammar, and linguistics and their extensive experience in teaching first-year composition to this remarkable handbook—a handbook that is accessible, flexible, comprehensive, and current, and that speaks to students in today’s language.  More than any other handbook, The New Century addresses the primary concerns of composition students: how to understand and avoid plagiarism, how to write for courses beyond English, how to make correct grammatical and stylistic choices, and how to use technology to help them become better writers.

  DK Handbook, The (Book Alone)
  Wysocki & Lynch
  ©2009 | Longman | Paper; 656 pp | Instock
  ISBN-10: 0321420535 | ISBN-13: 9780321420534
  Brief Description

  

  "I would describe The DK Handbook as visually arresting and a breath of fresh air in the market of composition handbooks…I think this text is remarkably suited to today's generation of visual learners."  -Joel Henderson, Chattanooga State Technical CC

   

  Transforming student and instructor expectations for textbooks, The DK Handbook presents information in newly accessible, scientifically tested, and student-friendly ways. 

   

  Never before seen in the handbook market, The DK Handbook’s design is a true marriage of visual and textual content, in which each topic is presented in self-contained, two-page spreads for at-a-glance referencing. Explanations are concise and “chunked” to be more approachable and appealing for today’s readers, and accompanying visuals truly teach — making concepts and processes visible to students.  The ground-breaking layout creates a consistent look and feel that helps students connect with the material, find information, and recognize solutions to writing problems they often don’t have names for.

   

  In planning this new kind of handbook, Longman commissioned an in-depth usability study to learn more about how students use handbooks and where they have difficulties.  The results not only informed the handbook's development, they confirmed that The DK Handbook's distinctive presentation is more effective and "useful" than the market-leading handbook. 

   

  In addition to the groundbreaking design, The DK Handbook provides the content that students need.  With more attention to research–particularly online research–than other handbooks, DK gives students a solid foundation in information literacy.  The handbookalso presents grammar and documentation (MLA, APA, CMS and CSE) in new ways that makes the material more accessible, including unique “pattern pages” that help students grasp principles visually. 

   

  With strong attention to the rhetorical situation, a visual presentation of the writing process, and usablity tested grammar, research and documentation coverage, The DK Handbook offers all the standard material expected in a handbook, but presents it in a revolutionary format that will motivate students to use their handbook — and help them become better writers and researchers.

  Taking the market-leading resources for writing, grammar and research that users have come to identify with the program, the new MyCompLab integrates those resources with an online composing space and new assessment tools.  In the easy-to-use composing space, which looks and functions like the most popular word processing programs, resources are available at a student’s fingertips as they research, draft, and revise;  students can get the help they need when they need it, without ever leaving their writing environment.  All student work in the course can be saved in MyCompLab so instructors are able to access and manage their students’ writing in one place.  

   

  In this same space, students can view instructor, peer, and tutor comments on their work, pulling together all the feedback they’ll need to produce better writing.  The intuitive commenting functionality of the new MyCompLab will save instructors significant time by allowing them to insert favorite comments and common errors.  It also allows instructors to create personalized study plans for students by linking to topics in the Resource library from the student’s own writing.

   

  The Portfolio feature is another key enhancement of the new MyCompLab.  With only a few clicks, students create e-portfolios of their work that they can easily share with their instructor, other evaluators, and peers.  Students can include multimodal compositions in their portfolios, export them as .html or PDF files, or continue adding to them throughout their college career and beyond.

   

  The To Do section of the new MyCompLab enables instructors to easily create and deliver assignments online and helps keep students on track by listing due dates and assignment details in one place.   Another feature to keep everyone on track is the flexible Gradebook.  Capturing student grades from self-grading aspects of the site and grades given to writing assignments by the instructor, the Gradebook allows instructors to easily assess student and class progress.

   

  Students can use the new MyCompLab on their own, benefiting from the composing space and its integrated resources, tools, and services with no involvement from the instructor.  Instructors can integrate MyCompLab into their traditional or online courses to whatever degree they’d like: from simply using exercises in the Resource section for homework or extra help to delivering their entire course online.  An eminently flexible application, MyCompLab can be used in whatever way an instructor finds useful for their course and teaching style.

  For undergraduate Composition I and II courses.

   

  From the first edition, The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers has focused on writing for a variety of purposes in a rhetorical situation.  Although audience, context, and writing situation are important, a writer’s purpose should be and has always been the focal point in the sequence of assignments.  The Prentice Hall Guide begins with observing and remembering, which are personally important for the writer. It then turns to more reader-based, academic purposes, including critical reading, expository writing, and argumentative writing.  Each chapter in this sequence is self-contained, with introductions, guidelines, professional and student models, writing process advice, research tips, revising guidelines, peer review questions, and postscript reflections on the assignment.

   

  This compact, efficient guide touches on all the critical aspects of college writing - both personal and academic - within rich, self-contained chapters - no more flipping back and forth between sections to find appropriate guidelines, models, and writing process information.

  The authors of Strategies for Successful Writing: a Rhetoric, Research Guide, and Reader have strived to achieve the same steadfast goals that have motivated them from the beginning: create a rhetorically-organized writing guide that combines three books into one convenient and flexible teaching tool while offering students an exceptional value. By having at their disposal a comprehensive textbook that offers ample material for a full-year composition course, instructors teaching a one-term course can make various selections from Chapters 1-17, from whatever types of specialized writing suits the needs of their students, and from the appropriate essays in the reader. As well, because the authors believe strongly that an effective composition textbook should address students directly, they've aimed for a conversational yet clear style that invites students into the book, lessens their apprehensions about writing, and provides a model for their own prose. This style complements the authors' strong student-based approach to writing, and together they help create a text that genuinely meets student needs.

  With a clear and easy-to-read presentation students want, visual instruction students prefer, and pedagogical support students need, Writing Today is a practical and useful guide to writing for college and beyond.

   

  Students need to learn to write successfully for their college courses, but they also want to learn how to transfer their writing skills outside of college and in their careers.  By teaching kinds of writing (analyses, reports, proposals, etc.), strategies for writing (narration, comparison, argumentation, etc.), and processes for writing (planning, drafting, revising, etc.), Writing Today provides students with tools they can mix and match as needed to respond effectively to many writing situations.

   

  While Writing Today offers comprehensive and detailed instruction that students need, the highly-praised, interactive writing style is written for the way today’s students read and learn: instruction is succinct; key concepts are immediately defined and reinforced; paragraphs are short and supported by instructional visuals.  This interactive presentation helps students ask questions of the text, raid it for answers, and access knowledge when they are ready for it, putting students in control of their learning. 

   

  Two versions are available at value prices--a brief version with handbook and a comprehensive version with an anthology of readings and handbook--and offer instructors maximum flexibility in course design.
