Product Description
Product Description
This book sets out proven approaches and techniques which can help everyone write good essays. Extensively revised and updated in this fourth edition, Good Essay Writing includes new material such as:
-A chapter on essay planning, focusing on literature searching (using online materials), note-taking and formulating an argument
-A comparison of essay writing to exam writing
-The use of academic language, vocabulary and register, and its 'accuracy and appropriateness'
-more exemplar material used throughout the chapters
The authors focus on answering key questions students face when preparing essays - What do tutors look for when marking my essay? What kind of skills do I need as I progress through my course? How can I avoid inadvertent plagiarism? What are the protocols for referencing?
Encapsulated in easy to digest summaries, this new edition shows you how to approach different types of essay questions, addresses common worries, and provides extensive use of worked examples including complete essays which are fully analysed and discussed. Each chapter also includes suggested further reading and there is an extensive glossary.

Food to brighten the dullest day.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Real Good Food (Hardcover)
As with all Nigel Slater's books, Real Good Food is more than just a collection of great recipes; it is a delight to read as Nigel's personality, humour and joy in cooking really great food shines through. This book contains some great ideas for both the novice and experienced cook and shows what good British cooking is all about. There are some international recipes, but the focus is definitely on British food, including some long forgotten, but scrumptious dishes like Pan Haggerty. Although it has recipes to suit all seasons, it excels in the kind of food that cheers a miserable winter's day. Many recipes have a concise number of ingredients, take less time to cook than a frozen lasagne and taste how food is meant to be. Satisfying and flavoursome while earning the cook an accolade or two. I have a dog eared copy of this book from its first publishing. Since then I have given copies to friends of all ages, some of whom are cooking for the first time, others with years of experience. His techniques and tips are great, and I feel inspired to cook by flicking through the pages, even after the busiest day. While some of the recipes might not be exactly slimming, they are definitely worth the calories, particularly the Tarte Tatin of Caramelised Onions, Sausage dishes and the wonderful Baked Sea Bream with Fennel & White Wine. If you are looking for fusion food, or complicated recipes, this is not for you. If you are looking for food that is both satisfying to cook and eat, you'll love it.

Early Slater - A Very Good Vintage,
By Big Texas Butters (Leicestershire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real Good Food (Hardcover)
Picked up a virtually unused copy in a charity shop. This is a collection of Nige's Observer columns from the early '90s.
Like Simon Hopkinson's "Roast Chicken ...." this is arranged into short chapters by key ingredients, techniques etc ... a mixed bag from asparagus through filo pastry to winter puddings ... a little anecdote and three or four recipes for each. Absolutely brilliant for the glut of produce from the garden or allotment, or the supermarket special offer.
