Walter E. Oliu Livres

Covers grammar, usage, style, and the writing process, and provides information on letters, memorandums, proposals, reports, meetings, and job descriptions

From formal reports to everyday e-mails, this handbook uses smart, accessible language to spotlight and clarify the ways we write today.

[The book] is designed for students of varied academic backgrounds and occupational interests whose jobs will, or already do, require writing skills. Each chapter provides examples drawn from a wide range of occupations, as well as structured exercises and writing assignments.... This text is inclusive enough to serve as a reference tool for the student long after the course is over, since no course can cover all the writing concerns students will encounter once they are actually on the job. -Pref.
