This book is designed to help students with the problems they face in
their academic writing. Beginning with the premise that successful
writing in the arts and social sciences depends on the mastery of the
subject matter and clarity of thought, the book deals with the tasks
that confront students before they put pen to paper and also provides a
guide to the structuring and use of language. Using concrete examples
from a variety of disciplines, the author demonstrates the best approach
to different sorts of work.
