Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com Good Choice | Customer Rating: | | this was a very nice book for the price.... *even if I did order 2 by accident.. Thanks again... | Great textbook | Customer Rating: | | This textbook has been great for my research and writing class. It allows me to interact with the book more than some older, maybe more well known books. A useful feature is that you can do the exercises online, as well as from the book. | review | Customer Rating: | The Bedford Handbook I was satisfied with my order, and was delivered as it said | good | Customer Rating: | | i ordered it and got it in a very good condition and in time. customer service is awesome. my blessings. keep up the good work. | Hacker lite, but not light enough | Customer Rating: | Diana Hacker has an English comp book for any possible usage, she grinds them out every few years. My college requires me to use this book as a handbook. That is unfortunate.
Of course, this book provides a basic explanation of English composition, grammar, documentation, and document design and critical reading. However, the attempt in this case is to present something that is lighter than Rules for Writers, a full scale manual that is sufficient to use as the only text for a college composition course or as a full writers reference, and her Writers Reference, which is a good handy handbook that is inadequate as a full course book, but is great as a rule book to be used by students taking a course using another text.
Usuing this book, I have had to create supplements from web material for issues that I expect to be covered fully in a college handbook such as the requirements of formal writing.
To be sure there are interesting illustrations and graphics and like her other books, the text is intimately linked with the enormous online network that Hacker and her publishers have created. It is not an awful book to use, but I would prefer Rules for Writers, Jane E. Aaron's Litte Brown Handbook, or Writer's reference. |
