Synopsis

Covers the requisite content in a manner more enlightened and more effective than any other handbook currently available. The rhetorical material is more pedagogically up-to-date and process-oriented than that in other handbooks. The organization of the book is also thoroughly process-oriented; even the traditional handbook material (including style, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics) is presented as the final stage of the writing process.

About the Author:

A balanced author perspective:

 

A composition teacher with more than 35 years experience teaching writing, Toby Fulwiler highlights the need for writers to gain confidence in their voices and ideas as well as to practice in a variety of formats and conventions. A practicing journalist with more than 25 years of experience writing and editing for newpapers, Alan Hayakawa understands the importance of conventional correctness and appreciates the way different writing situations and new technologies demand different approaches. For this reason, The Blair Handbook devotes time to both the whys and the hows of good writing. Students who know how to analyze and address individual rhetorical situations are more likely to succeed both across the curriculum and in the world beyond college.
