With The Little, Brown Handbook, Brief you get the platinum standard of handbooks, unmatched in accuracy, currency and reliability. It's designed around the assumption that reading and writing are deeply intertwined, and that addressing your challenges with reading will directly improve your writing. Whether you're writing short response papers, discussing a reading in an online forum, or writing a formal research paper, you'll need strategies to learn from reading and writing, and you'll need skills to connect your reading to your writing. Suitable for students with minimal academic writing experience, the text answers questions of writing process, grammar and style for users of all levels.
The 7th Edition combines reliable, authoritative coverage of grammar, style and mechanics with a new focus on critical reading and writing with sources.
