—Lynn Quitman Troyka

The Third Canadian Edition of the Simon & Schuster Handbook for Writers continues to provide students with an unintimidating, yet solid grounding in research, writing, and documentation, including fully updated and revised APA and MLA citation guidelines. With her accessible writing style, Lynn Troyka also addresses the increasing number of students who are doing their writing on computer and their research online. To this end, new features of this edition include the following:

• a new chapter, 33, on “Successful Online Research,” with information about searching the Web and the Internet, narrowing a search, avoiding plagiarism, and evaluating online sources
• a reorganized Chapter 32, “The Processes of Research Writing,” that now features a section on the role of new technologies in research
• coverage of the Columbia Online Style (COS) of documentation
• additional Computer Tips, ESL Tips, and Alerts sprinkled throughout the text, which help students incorporate technology, assist those for whom English is a second language, and highlight interactions between two or more grammatical and rhetorical issues
• a new section in Chapter 1, “Knowing the tools that can help you as a writer,” which discusses computers, a personal bookshelf of reference volumes, and other resources for writers
