Writing Cornerstones Paragraphs in Context

"Writing Cornerstones" -- the first in a new brief rhetoric series from Longman -- is a purpose-oriented mini-rhetoric for those writing at the paragraph-level. The book is intended to be a realistic introduction to and review of the paragraph. It helps writers deal with fears and blocks around writing and reading, making the various parts of the writing process accessible to all of them. Each of the ten chapters is divided into two parts. "What's the Point?" is the rhetoric section, filled with examples and writing instruction. "Applications" is the second part of each chapter, and each one helps writers immediately apply what has been discussed in the preceding pages and prepares them to write in a variety of contexts outside an academic setting. B>" For those seeking a brief rhetoric book to develop their writing skills.
