Continuously evolving to address the needs of students, the Hodges' Harbrace Handbook, Sixteenth Edition, guides student writers in developing their understanding of the rhetorical situation. Through this understanding, they learn how to write effectively-how to choose the most effective information, how to arrange it effectively, and how to decide on the most appropriate language to use when writing for any audience. This grammar-first handbook comprehensively covers grammar, style, punctuation, and mechanics as situated around rhetorical concerns-the writer, reader, message, context, and exigence (the reason for writing).

This classic grammar and writing reference guide has helped over 5 million students become better writers. The HodgesAE Harbrace Handbook, 14th edition, remains a grammar driven approach that has taught generations of writing students the best way to write and revise their papers."

A compact yet comprehensive guide, the Harbrace College Handbook, Thirteenth Edition offers practical, well-organized, and easily accessible advice for writers. Specific examples throughout the book demonstrate the principles of writing that are applicable to both course work and professional tasks, and frequent cross-references establish how these principles inform each other.
