The Nuts And Bolts Of College Writing, Priscilla Finley Apr 2004

The Nuts And Bolts Of College Writing, Priscilla Finley

Library Faculty Publications

Unusual for a style handbook, Nuts and Bolts embeds writing advice in essays that identify rhetorical structures as tools for "shaping your ideas, questions and convictions to share with others."
