About the Author
With a gift for explaining the basics of grammar, punctuation, and writing, Paige Wilson, Associate Professor at Pasadena City College, brings the vital structures of English to life, reinforcing fundamental concepts with easy-to-follow exercises, samples, and writing assignments. Since joining Teresa Ferster Glazier as author of THE LEAST YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ENGLISH in the 7th edition, Professor Wilson continues (in this 13th edition) to celebrate Glazier's original goal of providing students with 100% practical coverage and practice of writing skills -- from word choice to fully developed essays -- in one brief text. Through seven editions of her own, Wilson has added a fresh voice and global perspective to Glazier's vision along the way.
