Book Description
The Serious Student's Guide to Western Culture (c) is an extraordinary series of reference works designed for students and readers at any level who want to learn more about the basic concepts of literature and understand the cultural background that has influenced works of great literature during the past 2,000 years. The reference series is conveniently arranged in separate volumes so the student can focus on one particular area of study or purchase all three volumes at a discount to obtain comprehensive coverage of all areas. Please see separate listing for the combined set of three volumes to obtain the discount.The first three volumes focus on ideas in Western culture needed to understand literature. Volumes 4 and 5 focus on related areas of English composition and vocabulary building. These texts examine most of the important ideas in Western culture to allow the reader to develop a deeper understanding of the world's great literature. Each volume presents a clear, concise explanation of important concepts in Western culture and provides many examples from specific texts. Although these texts are designed primarily for the study of literature, they can be read as stand-alone texts for the enjoyment of learning new ideas. Volume 1 of this series presents a comprehensive analysis of world literature with an emphasis on British and American authors. This volume provides essential information on periods, genres, categories, basic concepts, major authors, critical theory, literary terms and other information the student needs to analyze and appreciate literature. This volume also examines the difference between the intellectual and cultural assumptions in British and American literature to help students develop a more cosmopolitan view of literature. Volume 2 of this series examines the intellectual, social, economic, and historical issues that have influenced great writers of world literature. This volume presents a summary of important philosophers, scientists, historians, psychologists, sociologists, economists, and other writers who have commented on the emerging ideas of their time and the extent to which these ideas influence literature. Volume 2 also includes several lists of books and awards to give the reader an overview of the important books that have influenced culture.Volume 3 in this series presents several dictionaries of allusions to Western culture found in literature. This section includes allusions to literary characters and terms, religious and biblical figures, Greek and Roman mythology, numbers and symbols, famous quotations from Shakespeare, and other information related to understanding these cultural allusions. This volume is extremely useful to readers who have a limited exposure in the humanities.Volume 4 in this series examines the basic concepts needed for students to improve their written and oral communication skills in academic discourse and in the business world. This volume presents a summary of important concepts taught in college composition and business communication courses and presents general information that can help students in any academic discipline write successful expository papers and present their ideas in accordance with conventions. This volume presents concepts of structure, organization, grammar, punctuation, use of evidence, transitions, style, argumentation and other topics.Volume 5 of this series is designed to help students improve their vocabulary by learning Latin and Greek etyma. This volume includes the most common etyma from Latin and Greek and illustrates their use in common words in the English language. This volume also includes sections on the influence on French, German, Spanish, and Italians words on the English language and presents several phrases and quotations in these languages to help readers understand the close connections between English and Romance languages.

Student's Guide to Writing College Papers
Author: Kate L. Turabian
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226816338
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
High school students, two-year college students, and university students all need to know how to write a well-reasoned, coherent research paper—and for decades Kate Turabian’s Student’s Guide to Writing College Papers has helped them to develop this critical skill. In the new fourth edition of Turabian’s popular guide, the team behind Chicago’s widely respected The Craft of Research has reconceived and renewed this classic for today’s generation. Designed for less advanced writers than Turabian’s Manual of Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Seventh Edition, Gregory G. Colomb and Joseph M. Williams here introduce students to the art of defining a topic, doing high-quality research with limited resources, and writing an engaging and solid college paper. The Student’s Guide is organized into three sections that lead students through the process of developing and revising a paper. Part 1, "Writing Your Paper," guides students through the research process with discussions of choosing and developing a topic, validating sources, planning arguments, writing drafts, avoiding plagiarism, and presenting evidence in tables and figures. Part 2, "Citing Sources," begins with a succinct introduction to why citation is important and includes sections on the three major styles students might encounter in their work—Chicago, MLA, and APA—all with full coverage of electronic source citation. Part 3, "Style," covers all matters of style important to writers of college papers, from punctuation to spelling to presenting titles, names, and numbers. With the authority and clarity long associated with the name Turabian, the fourth edition of Student’s Guide to Writing College Papers is both a solid introduction to the research process and a convenient handbook to the best practices of writing college papers. Classroom tested and filled with relevant examples and tips, this is a reference that students, and their teachers, will turn to again and again.
