The Blair Handbook: 2009 MLA Update Editon

by Toby Fulwiler Emeritus, Alan Hayakawa

This widely acclaimed handbook provides students with the most focus on critical thinking, writing process, particularly revision, and writing across the curriculum. The fifth edition of "The Blair Handbook "is the clearest and most accessible edition yet. It continues to explain and illustrate the qualities of good writing and the logic behind conventions of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and usage. And it continues to insist that good writing results from imaginative composing, careful revising, and editing. At the same time, the new edition adds coverage of visual rhetoric, public forms of discourse, Writing Across the Curriculum, and writing for the world of work.

This is a writing handbook my father picked up somewhere for me. I have used it a few times when collecting as much info as possible about writing topics or creating writing activities that focus on basic writing skills.
