false 103362 <![CDATA[The Chicago Manual of Style]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494461m/103362.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494461s/103362.jpg Those who work with words know how dramatically publishing has changed in the past decade, with technology now informing and influencing every stage of the writing and publishing process. In creating the fifteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style, the renowned editorial staff of the University of Chicago Press drew on direct experience of these changes, as well as on the recommendations of the Manual's first-ever advisory board, composed of a distinguished group of scholars, authors, and professionals from a wide range of publishing and business environments.

Every aspect of coverage has been examined and brought up to date--from publishing formats to editorial style and method, from documentation of electronic sources to book design and production, and everything in between. In addition to books, The Chicago Manual of Style now also treats journals and electronic publications. All chapters are written for the electronic age, with advice on how to prepare and edit manuscripts online, handle copyright and permissions issues raised by new technologies, use the latest methods of preparing mathematical copy, and cite electronic and online sources.

A new chapter covers American English grammar and usage, outlining the grammatical structure of English, showing how to put words and phrases together to achieve clarity, and identifying common errors. The two chapters on documentation have been reorganized and updated: the first now describes the two main systems preferred by Chicago, and the second discusses specific types of sources and subject matter, with examples tailored to both systems. Coverage of design and manufacturing has been streamlined to reflect what writers and editors need to know about current procedures. And, to make it easier to search for information, each numbered paragraph throughout the Manual is now introduced by a descriptive heading.

What would become The Chicago Manual of Style began in the 1890s as a single sheet of typographic fundamentals, prepared by a proofreader at the University of Chicago Press as a guide for the University community. That sheet grew into a pamphlet, and the pamphlet grew into a book--the first edition of the Manual of Style, published in 1906. Nearly a century later the Manual is in use in homes and offices around the world.

Clear, concise, and replete with commonsense advice, the fifteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style offers the wisdom of a hundred years of editorial practice while including a wealth of new topics and updated perspectives. For anyone who works with words, in any medium, this continues to be the one reference book you simply must have.

Almost 200 pages longer, this edition reflects nearly every significant change in style, usage, procedure & technology. It's easier to use, richer in illustrative examples & informed everywhere by the presence of computers in publishing, from ms preparation to editing, typesetting, indexing, design & printing. The result of over a decade's worth of continuous editing & revision, changes fall into two categories. First are those designed to make editorial guidelines more systematic, inclusive, contemporary & accessible. There are major revisions in the chapter on quotations, which features a fuller discussion of speech & alternative punctuation; in the chapter on names & terms, expanded treatment of nationalities, tribes & races; a reorganized chapter on foreign languages, with a new section on Hebrew; & an enlarged tabular spelling guide for compound words & words with prefixes & suffixes. Thoroughly revised is the documentation section. What was scattered across three chapters is now concisely presented in two. Chapter 15 now covers the humanities style of documentation, & 16, the author-date style preferred in the natural & social sciences. Notes & bibliographies are discussed separately & there are many examples of ways to cite a range of material--from medieval documents to computer programs, with guidelines for citing data bases, network billboards & other electronic documents. The other set of changes emphasizes new developments in publishing, from new technologies for composition, design, printing & binding, to the shifting responsibilities of author & editors. For 1st-time & self-publishing authors, there is also new information about the book's outside: jackets, covers & how to obtain & display ISBNs & bar codes. The chapter on copyrights & permissions has been rewritten by attorney Wm Strong to cover current laws, practices & procedures, with a more substantial section on interpreting fair use. The bibliography & glossary have been extensively revised. This revision process has been guided by a set of basic principles: consistency, clarity, literacy, good sense & good usage, all of them tempered by a respect for individual expression. These principles have worked successfully at the Press for a century; constantly renewed, they are what makes this the authoritative voice of publishing.

A new chapter covers American English grammar and usage, outlining the grammatical structure of English, showing how to put words and phrases together to achieve clarity, and identifying common errors. The two chapters on documentation have been reorganized and updated: the first now describes the two main systems preferred by Chicago, and the second discusses specific types of sources and subject matter, with examples tailored to both systems.

The Fifteenth Edition is available in book form, on CD-ROM for Windows, and as a subscription Web site. The same content from The Chicago Manual of Style is in all three versions.

In the 1890s, a proofreader at the University of Chicago Press prepared a single sheet of typographic fundamentals intended as a guide for the University community. That sheet grew into a pamphlet, and the pamphlet grew into a book—the first edition of the Manual of Style, published in 1906.

In creating the fifteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style, the renowned editorial staff of the University of Chicago Press drew on direct experience of these changes, as well as on the recommendations of the Manual's first-ever advisory board, composed of a distinguished group of scholars, authors, and professionals from a wide range of publishing and business environments.

Every aspect of coverage has been examined and brought up to date--from publishing formats to editorial style and method, from documentation of electronic sources to book design and production, and everything in between. In addition to books, The Chicago Manual of Style now also treats journals and electronic publications. All chapters are written for the electronic age, with advice on how to prepare and edit manuscripts online, handle copyright and permissions issues raised by new technologies, use the latest methods of preparing mathematical copy, and cite electronic and online sources.

A new chapter covers American English grammar and usage, outlining the grammatical structure of English, showing how to put words and phrases together to achieve clarity, and identifying common errors. The two chapters on documentation have been reorganized and updated: the first now describes the two main systems preferred by Chicago, and the second discusses specific types of sources and subject matter, with examples tailored to both systems. Coverage of design and manufacturing has been streamlined to reflect what writers and editors need to know about current procedures. And, to make it easier to search for information, each numbered paragraph throughout the Manual is now introduced by a descriptive heading.

What would become The Chicago Manual of Style began in the 1890s as a single sheet of typographic fundamentals, prepared by a proofreader at the University of Chicago Press as a guide for the University community. That sheet grew into a pamphlet, and the pamphlet grew into a book--the first edition of the Manual of Style, published in 1906. Nearly a century later the Manual is in use in homes and offices around the world.

Clear, concise, and replete with commonsense advice, the fifteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style offers the wisdom of a hundred years of editorial practice while including a wealth of new topics and updated perspectives. For anyone who works with words, in any medium, this continues to be the one reference book you simply must have.
