The Holt Handbook

This established first-year composition handbook offers a complete treatment of the writing process, including comprehensive coverage of invention, structure, research, and writing in the disciplines, as well as grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and style. The Fourth Edition demonstrates the writing process in action and, in a distinct, accessible format, provides information that students can use throughout college and beyond. Revision Close-Up boxes provide special emphasis on revision throughout the text Writing Checklists, Revision Checklists, and Summary boxes enable students to find important information quickly and easily. A new ESL chapter, language Issues for International Students, encourages students to contextualize English grammar and rhetoric by contrasting them to those of their native languages.
