A Handbook for Exposition

unique in its emphasis on words and language, this new handbook treats the process of composition as a series of choices a writer makes from among many rich, expressive possibilities. Common sense discussions of the "how" and "why" of writing demystify grammar and syntax and help students develop confidence in their expressive abilities. A positive approach that focues on correct usuage and syntactic choices as opposed to error correction prevents the imprinting of bad writing practices and encourages effective, varied expression.
