Product Description

Product Description
Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace, 6/e, presents principles of writing to help students diagnose their prose quickly and revise it effectively. Divided into four sections-Style as Choice, Clarity, Grace, and new to this edition, Ethics-the text features new principles of effective prose, chapter summaries for quick and easy review, and group exercises that encourage students to work and learn together. Williams empowers students to use their writing not only as a tool to identify and solve problems, but also as a method to explore their own thinking.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to write on complex subjects -- the best book out there, 4 Nov 1997
By A Customer
It's not easy to write about or explain complex subjects. To do so requires being able to focus, write concisely, and make the text flow for the reader. Not a trivial task. I know, I am a technical magazine editor and work with about 10 contributed technical articles a month. I just wish contributing writers would read this book. It lays out how to clearly write about very complex topics. And it does so in a very logical and structured manner. It even provides block diagrams to show how to put things together (for you engineers out there). Dr Williams did a fine job. This is not a simple book, nor a quick read. But it is the best book out there for serious non-fiction writers. It works.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you read only one book on writing, make it this one!, 16 Aug 1997
By A Customer
Oftentimes I've admired writers whose succint style and laser-beam like precision gave their writings an impressive and expressive edge. I only wish some wise soul had exposed me to a book such as this 30 years earlier. Please plant the intellectual seeds of sequoias in any young writers you know, and buy a copy of this book as a gift. Professor Williams extraordinary lessons in style, cohesion and use of the English language make this book an absolute joy to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Succinct but excellent guide to improving your writing, 31 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I really enjoyed this book. As an engineer I need all of the help I can get in improving my ponderous style. If I can absorb even a few lessons from this book, my writing will improve dramatically.
