More detailed than a pocket handbook yet briefer than a concise handbook, "Harbrace Essentials with Resources for Multilingual Writers, International Edition" provides all the authority of the Harbrace tradition in an ideal new length and portable format. Clear and concise explanations outline the essentials students need to write their papers, including instruction on the rhetorical contexts that affect their choice of grammatical constructions, style, punctuation, and mechanics, as well as strategies for writing paragraphs and essays, conducting research, and documenting sources. Additional resources for multilingual writers are included.
