  <description><![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;<em>A Writer’s Reference </em>is the most widely adopted college handbook ever published. The new edition is available in a classic version that provides more help with academic writing, serves a wider range of multilingual students, and lends more support for college research — all in an easy-to-use quick-reference format. Now for all the ways you teach your course, you can choose the classic version or choose from among 4 additional versions with varied content. &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;<em>A Writer’s Reference with Exercises</em> is tailor-made for classroom use or for additional grammar practice with 86 integrated exercise sets. &lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;<em>A Writer’s Reference with Writing in the Disciplines</em> provides help for college writing beyond composition with advice and models in six academic disciplines. &lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;<em>A Writer’s Reference with Writing about Literature</em> includes an entire tabbed section on interpreting and writing about works of literature, with two annotated student essays. &lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;<em>A Writer’s Reference with Extra Help for ESL Writers</em> includes an entire tabbed section for nonnative speakers of English; it offers targeted advice and strategies for college writing and research.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;DIV&gt; &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt; &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;]]></description>
