Small enough to tuck into a backpack or briefcase, this text has been designed to help you find information quickly, efficiently, and easily. I hope that this book will prove to be an everyday reference — and that the follow- ing tips will lead you to any information you need. Ways into the book QUICK ACCESS MENU. Inside the front cover you’ll find a list of the book’s contents. Once you locate a general topic on the quick access menu, flip to the tabbed section of the book that contains information on the topic, and check the menu on the tabbed divider for the exact page. USER-FRIENDLY INDEX. The index lists everything covered in the book. You can look up a topic either by its formal name (ellipses, for example) or, if you’re not sure what the formal name is, by a familiar word you use to describe it (such as dots). BRIEF CONTENTS. Inside the back cover, a brief but detailed table of con- tents lists chapter titles and major headings. GUIDE TO THE TOP TWENTY. The first tabbed section provides guidelines for recognizing, understanding, and editing the most common errors in student writing today. This section includes brief explanations, hand- edited examples, and cross-references to other places in the book where you’ll find more detail. CLEAR ADVICE ON RESEARCH AND DOCUMENTATION. Easy-to-follow source maps walk you step-by-step through the processes of selecting, evaluating, using, and citing sources. Documentation models appear in two tabbed sections — gold for MLA style and white for APA, Chicago, and CSE styles — with the different documentation styles color-coded in these sections. REVISION SYMBOLS. If your instructor uses revision symbols to mark your drafts, you can consult the list of symbols at the back of the book and its cross-references to places in the book where you’ll find more help. GLOSSARY OF USAGE. Chapter 19 gives quick advice on commonly con- fused and misused words. v 00_LUN_66490_FM_(i-xx)_00_LUN_66490_FM_i-xx.qxd 11/30/11 1:54 PM Page vi vi How to use this book Ways to navigate the pages 1 GUIDES AT THE TOP OF EVERY PAGE. Headers tell you what chapter or subsection you’re in, the chapter number and section letter, the name of the tab, and the page number. 2 “AT A GLANCE” BOXES. These boxes at the beginning of most chap- ters — and elsewhere in the book as well — help you check your drafts with a critical eye and revise or edit. 3 BOXED TIPS THROUGHOUT THE BOOK. • Tips on academic language, concepts, and style. “Talking the Talk” and “Talking about Style” boxes help you make sense of how writing works in the academic world and help you make stylistic choices for various kinds of writing — in communities, jobs, and disciplines. • Tips for multilingual writers. Advice for multilingual writers appears in a separate tabbed section and in boxes throughout the book. You can also find a list of the topics covered, including language-specific tips, at the back of the book. • Tips for considering disabilities. These boxes, which also ap- pear throughout the book, help you make your work accessible to readers with disabilities. If you’re a writer with a disability, these boxes also point out resources and strategies you may want to use. • Tips on common assignments. Advice about dealing with the most common assignments in first-year writing — and in other disciplines — appears in boxed tips throughout the book. 4 HAND-EDITED EXAMPLES. Many examples are hand-edited in blue, allowing you to see the error and its revision at a glance. Pointers and boldface type make examples easy to spot on the page. 5 CROSS-REFERENCES TO THE WEB SITE. The Everyday Writer Web site expands the book’s coverage. The cross-references to the Web site point you to practical online resources — tutorials, interactive exer- cises, model papers, research and documentation help, and more.
