Style: Writing and Reading as the Discovery of Outlook

By Richard M. Eastman

Style treats writing not as the medium for translating intentions into language but as the actual method for discovering intentions, meanings, and convictions. Covering the traditional skills that every writer must master--organization, audience, tone, vocabulary, sentence structure, and sound--the text includes a compact anthology with exercises, discussion topics and applications.
