About this title

Synopsis

This brief tabbed handbook reference includes clear, easy-to-understand coverage of grammar and punctuation. Expanded web coverage. Online supplements for document/web design, public writing, WAC and oral presentation.

Review

“This is the best of the brief handbooks available.”

Dr. Harryette Brown Dallas County Community College

“The strengths of this text are good language level and tone, nice examples of different
types of writing, logical fallacies, essay structure, etc...Strong section on argument, which can be
less than appealing to teach and read about. Your coverage is interesting and useful”

Lisa McRaven Ozarks Technical Community College

“The “Writing to Connect with the World” section reminds students that the need for good
writing continues afterschool...The greatest strength is the ease of use and narrative that
doesn’t “talk down” to students.”

Ruth Gerick University of Texas Arlington

“I think the handbook is one of the best on the market, which is why NHC adopted it. Strong
examples and in such an engaging format is what makes Quick Access a superior resource.”

Joyce Boatright North Harris College

“The acknowledgement of changes in the arena of writing to include more info about the web
and about writing that employs images–this is realistic and useful for today’s classes...I plan
to adopt.”

Diana Grumbles Southern Methodist University

“The coverage of plagiarism is, in my opinion, excellent.”

Joel B. Henderson Chattanooga State Technical Community College

“I think this is the best writing handbook on the market for clear, straightforward, and accurate
demonstration of the writing process. “

Ruth Gerick

University of Texas Arlington

“Quick Access seems to be much more detailed and could better stand alone [than my current
text]. It is very easy to use and takes good consideration of nonnative speaker populations.”

Kimberly Strain University of Minnesota

“The ESL Notes add helpful information, expanding the explanation for those who do not speak
English as their first language.”

Dorothy Minor Tulsa Community College

“The section on working in the disciplines would almost sell me this book on its own.”

Lisa McRaven Ozarks Technical Community College

“I think this text’s inclusion of the research checklist, numerous examples, and screen shots - assists in student understanding and sets this text apart from its competitors.”

Joel B. Henderson Chattanooga State Technical Community College
