Description
Book SynopsisThe challenges of integrating and citing sources in academic work have expanded in scope and complexity in the digital age, but the basic principles and guidelines for doing so responsibly remain the same.
The third edition of
Writing with Sources is updated throughout, providing more examples of the proper use and citation of digital and print sources across disciplines—including current conventions specific to MLA, The Chicago Manual of Style, APA, and CSE citation styles—while preserving its concise and accessible format.
Trade ReviewComments on the previous edition: "The best little book for college writers. Harvey understands the writer’s position—and plight—when composing essays that must respond to texts yet make independent assertions.
Writing with Sources not only provides clear rules of citation for papers in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, but it also shows how writers can incorporate and advance ideas learned from other writers, while avoiding the bad habits of composition that can lead to plagiarism. It’s the one book to keep on your desk."
—David Gewanter, Georgetown University
Comments on the previous edition: "An excellent and concise survey for students. Harvey covers all the necessary bases and mixes in a touch of humor besides. Its strength lies in its size: college students will not be put off by the volume, but it does not sugarcoat its message, either. Using examples from the book’s own text is brilliant!"
—Daniel Berman, Temple University
