ReviewsThe Little Seagull Handbook models the very concise and precise writing we hope our students will achieve.... keeping details to a minimum and clearly explaining the essentials., I like the focus on different types of academic essays--arguments, rhetorical analyses, research reports, personal narratives, literary analyses, and so on. I actually changed the focus of my class to address these kinds of writing., The combined glossary/index is great. Students get to understand an unfamiliar term and at the same time find a page with further instruction. This is efficient, reader-centered writing.

SynopsisA pocket-sized handbook that's easy to use and covers the kinds of writing college students need to do., The Little Seagull Handbook offers the kind of succinct advice students need about grammar, punctuation, documentation, and the writing process--an in addition, it covers the kinds of writing they are most often assigned--reports, analyses, narratives, and more. The second edition includes unique help for students whose primary language is not English. Available in two versions--with and without exercises.
So much information in such a small book! Only empathizes what's important and leaving the useless details out! A must have for any student taking ANY English classes in college!
