Kenmore. 2013. June 2013. Coffeetown Press. 1st Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9781603811743. 6 x 9. 230 pages. paperback. keywords: Reference Writing. DESCRIPTION - Many students dread writing essays because no one has bothered to break down the process in a clear, down-to-earth fashion. Writing Matters is the remedy. This revised second edition improves on the first by presenting actual student essays for classroom discussion and by expanding the section on editing. Award-winning English Professor Peter G. Beidler offers solid advice that includes, in part: how to find a topic, what constitutes a bold thesis, how to select and organize evidence, what to include in an introduction, how to develop a voice, and how to doctor a sickly paragraph. Although originally written for first-year university students learning composition, Writing Matters has also been invaluable to ESL students and those in high school preparing for the SATs. What I like most about Writing Matters is that it really speaks to my students. Beidler's refreshing strategy of giving the rudiments of essay writing in twenty-six mini-essays which exemplify the very precepts he is advancing is particularly helpful. After all, some students learn better by precept, other by example. � I have recommended Writing Matters to various colleagues and have yet to hear a negative word. --Professor John de Oliveira e Silva, CUNY: LaGuardia Community College, New York City, NY. I have been using Peter G. Beidler's Writing Matters for fifteen years because I prefer it to all other how-to writing textbooks that cross my desk. Writing Matters is far more accessible to students than the typical composition text�. Although Beidler's book is simple, direct, and sometimes humorous, it does not condescend. --Professor Kathleen Mayberry, Lehigh Carbon Community College, Schnecksville, PA. Although he wrote this book for college writing classes, the simple, direct advice it contains would help anyone in the business world. Writing Matters should be in the desk drawer of every manager and executive. --Charlie Liekweg, recently retired President & CEO of AAA Washington and former Vice President, Operations, GTE Corporation. inventory #46798.
