Description: From the Preface: This third edition of Effective Writing is at once the same book and a new book. Like the other two it is founded on the belief that students first need to learn to control an idea as distinct from a topic and to work with unity, development, and organization before being able to master precise control over the sentences and words with which their ideas are expressed. Consequently, I have retainted the pattern of the whole composition, the paragraph, the sentence, and the word, presenting rhetorical principles applicable to all types of writing, with special attention to exposition and with constant emphasis on the importance of the writer's purpose and of his audience in controlling his choice of methods. (...) This revised Handbook attempts to apply the insights of linguistic study to its descriptions of written English as the college student usually needs to write. Condition of book: Please see the photos for Good condition. This hardback book is missing the Dust Jacket.
