Expressly created to engage the visual and technological interests of today’s students, The Brief Penguin Handbook revolutionized the way handbooks present information and ideas.
With a highly visual design, unique coverage of visual rhetoric and visual literacy, superior coverage of technology, and distinctive coverage of writing for different purposes, the first edition established itself as the best-selling handbook to enter the market in fifteen years. The second edition of this extraordinary handbook continues to lead the market with enhanced visual examples and coverage, completely revised and expanded documentation chapters, cutting edge coverage of language issues, and much more.
- The first, and still the best, handbook for visual learners. The design and approach of The Brief Penguin Handbook started with ideas and suggestions from real students, and thus it is uniquely successful when it comes to giving students the information they need in a format they will actually use. For the student who has grown up with computers and will increasingly use the Internet for gathering information and communicating, this handbook innovates in its design as well as its content to make handbook topics accessible:
- Visual images and photographs abound throughout the text, many of them taken by the author himself; these images invite student readers in to the book and more importantly, many of them illustrate important concepts and ideas.
- Thorough treatment of analyzing/creating visual texts helps make students more informed readers and writers. See Chapter 6, “Critical Reading and Viewing,” which describes the critical analysis of words and images including sections on textual fallacies and visual fallacies, and the new Chapter 7.
-
- Practical, accessible coverage of grammar and style issues in “Common Errors” boxes—a key at the back of the book and boxes throughout the book make it easy for student writers to find guidance on the most common errors. Each box addresses a specific error with information on how to recognize, understand, and correct it.
- Comprehensive, cutting-edge treatment of research includes more coverage of plagiarism and using sources than any other handbook on the market. In this Second Edition, database research is now also covered in more detail than in any competing handbook. New “Source Samples” have been added to the MLA and APA chapters. This edition includes in-depth treatment of citing and evaluating electronic sources and more models for MLA citation than any other handbook on the market.
- Part 3, “Writing in College and Beyond,” addresses three important purposes for writing: to reflect, to inform, and to persuade. Traditional academic models for each purpose are included, paired with as well as genres such as the reflective magazine article, the brochure, and the résumé and accompanying letter of application.
- Comprehensive coverage of technology throughout includes a thoroughly updated Chapter 14 on “Writing for the Web” and new “Writing Smart” boxes that give practical tips and suggestions for working effectively on the computer (alone and collaboratively) while writing, revising, editing, and researching.
- “Writing in the World” boxes offer tips on writing contexts. When, where, and why do various rules of usage apply? What is acceptable and expected in the professional world? For example, do reviewers use the past tense when evaluating films or music? (No. They use the present tense just as academic writers do.)
- With an emphasis on communication in many genres, this handbook includes concise, practical discussions of verbal, visual, and online texts, as well as detailed coverage of print texts in their many forms. While an emphasis on academic writing and research is maintained throughout, the book and its Companion Website also include coverage of public and professional genres, such as brochures, magazine articles, letters of application, and blogs.
- Throughout the book, URLs for the handbook’s Companion Website take students to specific pages on the site where they’ll find relevant, multimedia materials. The site features:
- “Writing in the World” projects & worksheets which offer students all the tools and source materials they need to complete projects in particular scenarios along with interactive worksheets to help walk them through a variety of writing tasks.
- “Common Errors Workbook” & “ESL Common Errors Workbook”—interactive exercises that give students practice and immediate feedback in those areas of grammar and usage where they need the most help.
-
- Completely revised and redesigned chapters on documentation styles (MLA, APA, CMS, CSE) present the intricacies of citing sources in an even more visual and easy-to-use format, while also offering traditional indices and listings of models.
- Redesigned at-a-glance guides to documentation include new “Source Samples.” Source Samples show actual pages or excerpts from different types of sources, annotated to show how and where to find the information needed to construct an accurate and complete citation. Each Source Sample is accompanied by a color-coded annotated citation for the source being shown.
- All documentation chapters now include an index at the beginning and a comprehensive listing of model citations.
- Includes more MLA model citations than any other handbook.
- New sample student research papers in MLA and CSE style.
- Numerous model citations added to APA, CMS, and CSE chapters.
-
- A new Chapter 7, “Analyzing Verbal and Visual Texts,” extends the discussion of critical reading to focus specifically on analysis, and includes a new sample analysis paper.
- Chapter 14, “Writing for the Web,” is almost entirely new, including all new model Web sites and student Web pages.
- A new Chapter 17, “Finding Sources Online,” includes detailed instruction on using databases to find sources, providing practical help for students who are overwhelmed and confused by the many types of databases and Web resources.
- Expanded material on writing in the disciplines, including new sample documents in Part Three, new guides for finding sources in different disciplines in Chapters 16 & 17, more model citations in APA, CMS, and CSE documentation chapters, new pages from a model CSE paper, and a new “Writing Across the Curriculum Guide” at the back of the book. This guide provides an easy-to-reference list of all the pages where discussions, instruction, samples and examples of writing in the disciplines or writing in professional settings can be found.
- New Chapter 31, “Writing for Diverse Audiences,” and Chapter 48, “Writing in a Second Language,” make The Brief Penguin Handbook the first to present English as a truly global language. ESL specialists, Paul and Aya Matsuda, authors of new coverage and consultants on ESL coverage in Part 10, provide insight into rhetorical issues for both native and non-native speakers, providing students with up-to-the-minute strategies for writing in an age of language change and difference.
- New “Writing Smart” boxes offer practical advice for composing with computers, as well as collaboration tips, research tips, writing tips, and other practical elements and strategies.
- An updated and expanded Companion Website (www.ablongman.com/faigley) includes new “Writing in the World” projects, more model papers with audio commentary, a new “Help Desk” section for students, new tutorials for using databases and for creating a Web site, and more.
- Expanded and updated visual features and examples:
- Part 1, “Composing in a Visual Era,” includes new visuals in every chapter and a new section on multimedia writing to help students understand the visual nature of writing.
- Part 3, “Writing in College and Beyond,” includes a new Chapter 7, “Analyzing Verbal and Visual Texts,” new examples of visual analysis, a new section on Weblogs, new sample brochures and other visual documents, and a new section on persuasive Web sites, offering students the broadest possible range of sample texts and genres.
- Part 4, “Designing and Presenting,” includes new or updated sample graphics in every chapter, a new section on “Understanding Type Styles,” new discussions of the rhetorical context and purpose for different types of visuals, new coverage of collaborative visual and verbal presentations, and new discussion of Common Errors in using PowerPoint. Chapter 14, “Writing for the Web,” is almost entirely new, including all new model Web sites and student Web pages.
- Part 5, “Researching,” includes a new chart to help students understand different types of sources (print, Web, database) and the relationships among them; a new chapter on using databases (with visuals to illustrate common interfaces); new coverage of evaluating visual sources and developing a visual annotated bibliography; a new section on presenting research visually; and a new sample student paper with table and photo.
- Part 6, “Documenting,” includes new visual examples of major types of sources for both MLA and APA chapters.
- Part 7, “Effective Style and Language,” includes new visual examples to illustrate style concepts such as power, conciseness, parallelism, and emphasis.

The Curious Writer by Bruce Ballenger is an assignment-oriented, all-in-one rhetoric-reader-handbook that stresses the connections between personal and academic writing.
Offering a unique, entertaining, and personal author voice, The Curious Writer is sure to grab student’s interest and motivate them to write. Also distinctive is The Curious Writer’s emphasis on inquiry as both a driving force behind the writing process and a method of discovery and learning. The book operates on the principle that writers who begin with questions, rather than answers, achieve better results in their work. It treats research, revision, and critical reading skills (of both texts and visuals) as organic components of every writing process. Each of the eight writing assignment chapters offers integrated coverage of these three key activities and also provides special attention to the Web as a resource for invention and research.

"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.
The Longman Handbook for Writers and Readers, Fifth Edition, offers a unique emphasis on writing for different audiences, explores the connection between reading and writing, and presents superior writing across the curriculum coverage, while also providing all the handbook basics.
A comprehensive reference to writing, research, documentation, and grammar, The Longman Handbook explores the differing audiences, purposes, and conventions of various communities of writers and readers, and offers students concrete strategies for adapting their writing to meet varying rhetorical situations. While emphasizing the academic community, The Longman Handbook also explores the genres of writing that students can expect to find in public and workplace communities.
Revised and expanded discussions of writing in the disciplines, different communities’ rhetorical situations, visual argument, researching online, and online writing continue to ensure that students have the practical guidance they need to write effectively in today’s changing environment.
The Longman Writer’s Companion with Exercises offers in-text exercises, a unique emphasis on writing for different audiences, explores the connection between reading and writing, and presents superior writing across the curriculum coverage while also providing all the handbook basics.
