Tailored to student learning styles and needs, grounded in student models, and used as a resource for all academic and workplace contexts, THE WADSWORTH HANDBOOK, Seventh Edition now expands the concept of writing to encompass both visual and electronic texts while offering more coverage on the writing process, research, and writing in the disciplines.
Handy reference for writing and researching papers. It was a required text from my dual credit English class senior year of high school, but it was truly a godsend when I returned to university 8 years later. It's probably a little out of date in terms of citations and maybe some internet resources, but everything else is still useful and relevant.
