A comprehensive grammar and usage handbook for college and university students. Useful as both a core text for writing courses (includes exercises) and a reference volume or supplement for literature courses. This third Canadian edition provides students with a solid grounding in research, writing and documentation without intimidating them with the amount and density of the information. With her accessible writing style, Lynn Troyka has made many changes to reflect the fact that an increasing number of students are doing their writing on the computer and doing their research online.
