The Little Seagull Handbook with Exercises - Tapa blanda

Most handbooks include chapters on various general writing topics (e.g., the writing process or the elements of an argument) but few cover the specific kinds of writing students are assigned to do. The Little Seagull has chapters on reports, analyses and all the other genres that college students are most often assigned. And because it's so small, so easy to use, and so affordable, it's proven to be a popular alternative to larger (and much more costly) handbooks. The third edition adds a new section on editing the errors that matter-and the option to include free access to InQuizitive for Writers, which provides practice in editing the same errors.
