The Allyn & Bacon Handbook is designed as a superior resource for classroom and reference use, offering a cross-disciplinary coverage that is uniquely suited to writers both in and beyond college.Its opening chapters on Critical Thinking and Writing provide a foundation for decision-making skills from the invention and planning stages of whole essay development to the designing of sentences. Writing and argument-as-a-way-of-knowing is developed from early chapters through to the two unique chapters on writing and thinking in the social sciences, and natural sciences.
