KEY BENFIT: Part of a three-level developmental writing series that integrates critical thinking, reading, writing, revising, and editing, this book teaches the processes and skills common to all good academic writing. It includes both professional and student writings as well as a multitude of exercises and activities which help users apply the techniques and skills to their own writing. This book focuses on sentences in the context of essays, with related grammar, syntax, and mechanics covered in detail in the Revising and Editing sections. The rhetorically based instruction is repeated at more sophisticated levels in each of the three books. For those interested in a thorough examination of the academic writing.
