Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace, 6/e, presents principles of writing to help students diagnose their prose quickly and revise it effectively. Divided into four sections—Style as Choice, Clarity, Grace, and new to this edition, Ethics—the text features new principles of effective prose, chapter summaries for quick and easy review, and group exercises that encourage students to work and learn together. Williams empowers students to use their writing not only as a tool to identify and solve problems, but also as a method to explore their own thinking.
