Turabian's \u003ci\u003eManual for Writers\u003c\/i\u003e has offered comprehensive and detailed guidance to authors of research papers--term papers, theses, and dissertations. Now the editors of \u003ci\u003eThe Chicago Manual of Style\u003c\/i\u003e have revised Turabian's \u003ci\u003eManual\u003c\/i\u003e to bring the details of style into conformity with the fourteenth edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Chicago Manual\u003c\/i\u003e. This new edition of \u003ci\u003eTurabian\u003c\/i\u003e also reflects the way students work today, taking into account the role of personal computers in the preparation and presentation of their papers. \u003cp\u003eThe familiar organization of this popular book remains largely unchanged. Chapter 1 describes the parts of a long formal paper. Chapters 2-5 introduce the mechanics of writing style, from abbreviations to quotations. Chapters 6 and 7 show how to prepare and refer to tables and illustrations. The section on documentation, chapters 8-12, describes two of the most commonly used systems of citation; these chapters provide many examples including guidance on how to cite electronic documents. Chapter 13, on manuscript preparation, shows how to take advantage of word processing software to present the elements of a paper clearly and effectively. Chapter 14 offers more than two dozen sample pages illustrating ways of formatting some of the complex features found in many research papers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthoritative, comprehensive, easy to use, and filled with good sense, this new edition will be the standard for yet another generation of students and their teachers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKate Turabian (1893-1987) was dissertation secretary at the University of Chicago from 1930 to 1958. This manual and her \u003ci\u003eStudent's Guide for Writing College Papers\u003c\/i\u003e made her name so well known that she has become \"part of the folklore of American higher education\" (\u003ci\u003eQuill and Scroll\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Bulk","offers":[{"title":"Used \/ 9780226816272-001","offer_id":43741675782205,"sku":"9780226816272-001","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used \/ 9780226816272-002","offer_id":43741683974205,"sku":"9780226816272-002","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/20391003482268.jpg?v=1790765868","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/a-manual-for-writers-of-term-papers-theses-and-dissertations","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
