New to the Sixth Edition

• A completely rewritten chapter on writing for the Web uses innovative exercises to develop writing skills, accounts for many of the structures and demands of the web environment, and helps students navigate in this medium.
• Many new examples of good writing are featured in the text, against which students are encouraged to model their own writing.
• New exercises found in many of the chapters, including those involving grammar and style, allow students to put content into practice.
• An updated Companion Website (www.ablongman.com/stovall6e) and Instructor's Manual, with additional material for lectures and discussion, as well as some additional exercise material, provide supplementary material for users.
• A glossary provides easy access to definitions of terms used throughout the book.

"Stovall's strengths are many. . .the book is a bargain and the inclusion of exercises for each chapter heightens its bargain status. Likewise, the back-to-basics approach makes the book accessible to a wide range of students."

"For those who are in search of breadth, Stovall's greatest virtue has to be the diversity of media writing tasks addressed. Not one of the competitors that I have used offers nearly the diversity of writing assignments treated by Stovall."
