Understanding Style: Practical Ways to Improve Your Writing
"This is one of the most progressive, readable, and lively books on style I have ever read. The author is clearly informed by current theories of text linguistics; he's done a remarkable job of translating often highly sophisticated concepts into language and examples that students will immediately understand." --Chris M. Anson, North Carolina State University"An excellent book with clear, direct explanations of difficult topics. I especially like the exercises for students. Glaser's discussion of 'deadwood' in student writing is one of my favorite parts of the book."--Mason Smith, Eastern Kentucky University--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
