Synopsis

Divided into four sections -- Style as Choice, Clarity, Grace, and Ethics -- Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace helps students diagnose their prose quickly and revise it effectively. This edition features new principles of effective prose, boxed summaries for quick and easy review, and group exercises that encourage students to work and learn together.

Style encourages students to use their writing not only as a tool to identify and solve problems but as a method to explore their own thinking.

June 05, 2005: I read the first edition back in 1981 as a first year judicial clerk/lawyer and it accelerated the improvement of the quality of my writing skill--to my great relief. It remains worthy of being the first book for professional writers to reach for to clear their heads and express their thoughts clearly.
