Joseph M. Williams Libros

This acclaimed book is a master teacher's tested program for turning clumsy prose into clear, powerful, and effective writing. A logical, expert, easy-to-use plan for achieving excellence in expression, Style offers neither simplistic rules nor endless lists of dos and don'ts. Rather, Joseph Williams explains how to be concise, how to be focused, how to be organized. Filled with realistic examples of good, bad, and better writing, and step-by-step strategies for crafting a sentence or organizing a paragraph, Style does much more than teach mechanics: it helps anyone who must write clearly and persuasively transform even the roughest of drafts into a polished work of clarity, coherence, impact, and personality

Style: The Basics of Clarity and Grace retains the wisdom and clear authorial voice of Williams best-selling book, Style, while streamlining every chapter to create a very brief, yet powerfully direct guide to writing with style. The brevity of words and clarity of expression make this book a quick and ideal read for freshman composition courses, as well as for writing courses across the disciplines. Style: The Basics of Clarity and Grace covers the elemental principles of writing that will help students diagnose their prose quickly and revise it effectively. The four sections Style as Choice, Clarity, Grace, and Ethics feature principles of effective prose, written in William's hallmark conversational style. As in Style, Seventh Edition, these principles are offered as reason-based approaches to improving prose, rather than as hard and fast rules to writing well.

Here's a concise, practical guide to mastering the art of research. Filled with the tested strategies and expert advice of three distinguished scholars, this book helps you plan, carry out, and report on research in any field, at any level - a term paper, a dissertation, an article, or a book. The Craft of Research is about more than the mechanics of fact gathering: it's a unique introduction to doing research effectively. Clearly written and easy to use, it teaches the skills that are essential to the success of any research project. Wayne Booth, Gregory Colomb, and Joseph Williams chart every stage of the research process, from finding a topic and generating research questions about it to marshalling evidence, constructing arguments, creating a first draft, and revising that draft for a final report that meets the needs of a community of readers.

Along with many other topics "The craft of research" explains how to build an argument that motivates readers to accept a claim and how to create introductions and conclusions that answer that most demanding question "So what?"
