Adios, Strunk and White

This guide for professional writers, college students and professors, K-12 teachers, and self-taught writers appeals to readers' rhythmic, spatial, and playful sensibilities to help them expand writing beyond the five-paragraph, academic word-box. The guide explains concepts with verve and humor, and encourages writers to develop a distinctive voice, showing how to merge style with critical thinking, logic, and research. The authors are professors of English.
