All students and professors need to write, and many struggle to finish their stalled dissertations, journal articles, book chapters, or grant proposals. Writing is hard work and can be difficult to wedge into a frenetic academic schedule. In this practical, lighthearted and encouraging book, Paul J Silvia explains that writing productively doesnot require innate skills or special traits but specific tactics and actions. Drawing examples from his own field: psychology, he shows readers how to overcome motivational roadblocks and become prolific without sacrificing evenings, weekends and vactions. After describing strategies for writing productively, the author gives advise from the trenches on how to write, submit, revise, and resubmit articles: how to improve writing quality; and how to write and publish academic

If you want to learn how to shoot a basketball, you begin by carefully observing someone who knows how to shoot a basketball. If you want to be a writer, you begin by carefully observing the work of accomplished writers. Recognizing the importance that modeling plays in the learning process, high school English teacher Kelly Gallagher shares how he gets his students to stand next to and pay close attention to model writers, and how doing so elevates his students’ writing abilities. Write Like This is built around a central premise: if students are to grow as writers, they need to read good writing, they need to study good writing, and, most important, they need to emulate good writers.In Write Like This, Kelly emphasizes real-world writing purposes, the kind of writing he wants his students to be doing twenty years from now. Each chapter focuses on a specific discourse: express and reflect, inform and explain, evaluate and judge, inquire and explore, analyze and

This isn’t meant to be a comprehensive grammar guide, but more of a survival guide you can pull out when the clock says 3 a.m., you’ve drank three Redbulls, and you need some help starting, fine tuning, or just finishing your research paper. Have you ever been in the middle of a research paper or assignment and came to this problem: Which word do I use, “then†or “than?†I have. What about those abbreviations, i.e. and e.g.? What do those even mean? When should I use them? How do you even write a grammatically correct paper? Where do you get good info? Should you use Wikipedia? When should you use a semicolon? When should you use “affect†and “effect?†I could go on but you get the idea.The questions go on and on and on (at least they did for me while I was in college) and I want to help you make it. I’ve written some horrible papers early on in college and I’ve seen plenty of corrections in red ink. Yet over the years I’ve learned how to write an A+ paper

Each section lists its descriptive terms alphabetically with full explanations. You can read the lists to learn new terms, or you can look up a specific term.The hair section starts with hair type and hairstyle. It details how the appearance of one’s hair can shape one’s gender identity and ethnic identity.

All this leads to more than 2,000 words explaining 72 different color names to assign to hair that is black, blond, brown, gray, red, or white. There is also a section
