Extensively revised and expanded for students in the social sciences, this handbook is based on the best-selling "Making Sense: A Student s Guide to Writing and Style" (1983). In addition to outlining the general principles of style, grammar and usage, it focuses on the special concerns of social science students: research design, theory, measurement, and argument; documentation; writing book and research reports; and writing examinations. The book will help students write better research papers and reach a better understanding of published research by others. A new section on the use of word-processors will interest many teachers and students.
