Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Handbook for Writing Formal Papers takes the student through the writing process step by step in language that is succinct and to the point. Consistent with APA format and style, the Handbook is appropriate for any graduate or undergraduate course in education or psychology requiring the development of a formal literature review or a research study. However, it has broader applications both within and beyond the academic setting, including in any business or organization requiring the preparation of reports, documents, and other pieces of formal writing. Each step in the writing process is carefully and clearly explained beginning with a five-step sequence: define, describe, detail, discuss, and determine. Following this, each section of the paper is delineated, from the title page and the abstract to the bibliography and appendixes. The process of completing the formal paper or research study is addressed in a section on conventions of formal writing. Included in the text are checklists for writers and substantive ancillary material. Students who have used the Handbook have unanimously praised it for helping them organize, write, and complete their work.

Download or read book The Golden Thread written by Ewan Clayton and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the simple representative shapes used to record transactions of goods and services in ancient Mesopotamia, to the sophisticated typographical resources available to the twenty–first–century users of desktop computers, the story of writing is the story of human civilization itself. Calligraphy expert Ewan Clayton traces the history of an invention which—ever since our ancestors made the transition from a nomadic to an agrarian way of life in the eighth century BC—has been the method of codification and dissemination of ideas in every field of human endeavour, and a motor of cultural, scientific and political progress. He explores the social and cultural impact of, among other stages, the invention of the alphabet; the replacement of the papyrus scroll with the codex in the late Roman period; the perfecting of printing using moveable type in the fifteenth century and the ensuing spread of literacy; the industrialization of printing during the Industrial Revolution; the impact of artistic Modernism on the written word in the early twentieth century—and of the digital switchover at the century's close. The Golden Thread also raises issues of urgent interest for a society living in an era of unprecedented change to the tools and technologies of written communication. Chief among these is the fundamental question: "What does it mean to be literate in the early twenty–first century?" The book belongs on the bookshelves of anyone who is inquisitive not just about the centrality of writing in the history of humanity, but also about its future; it is sure to appeal to lovers of language, books and cultural history.

Download or read book Literacy and the Politics of Writing written by Albertine Gaur and published by Intellect Books. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the growth of modern information technology, it is time to re-examine the concept and purpose of writing, and question the long cherished idea that the alphabet stands at the apex of a hierarchy towards which all proper forms of writing must necessarily progress. This book shows that the primary purpose of writing is the ability to store and transmit information, information essential to the social, economical and political survival of a particular group. Writing, in whatever form, allows the individual the interact with the group, to acquire an amount of knowledge that far outweighs the scope of memory (oral traditions), and to be free to manipulate this knowledge and arrive at new conclusion. Providing a quick and easy entrance to information related to the subject, the volume contains a network of references leading the reader towards further information, and most entries are listed with bibliographical notes.
