Condizione: Very Good. Canada, : Oxford University Press, , 1990. 1st Printing. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. An unmarked copy. Based on the bestselling Making Sense, this informative volume for students in the humanities will include material about working with primary and secondary sources in key disciplines (English, history, philosophy, fine arts, etc.) as well as a more detailed discussion of the argumentative essay, emphasizing a how-to approach. Of special interest to students of English are the expanded chapter on writing argumentative essays, which deals with the special nature of writing about literature (and some of the various critical approaches that can be taken) and the bibliographies of key reference materials for studying Canadian, British and American literature and genre studies. To help students with their research, the guide offers suggestions on how to use a library and also explains the general perspectives that exist across most disciplines - from Freud to Marx to formalism and feminism, etc. - to provide an elementary appreciation of the secondary sources that students find in library stacks, and to help them avoid women of the pitfalls of uninformed library research. 142 pp.
