Amazon.com Review
Newly revised to conform with the IChicago Manual of Style/I, Turabian's IManual for Writers/I provides comprehensive, detailed, superior guidance to writers of research papers. From "Parts of the Paper" (including the niceties of copyrights and dedications) to "Sample Layouts," everything to do with format is covered. Mechanics of style (abbreviations to quotations) are reviewed, there's help on tables and illustrations, and chapters on bibliographies, parenthetical references, note taking, and citations. There are suggestions for manuscript preparation, hints on word-processing software, and formatting for research papers' more complex features. When you're up to your eyebrows in research data, it's a vast relief to have quick, accessible, reliable answers to your questions of structure, scholarly propriety, and academic style. I--Stephanie Gold/I

Product Description
DIVFor close to sixty years Kate L. Turabian's iManual for Writers/i has offered comprehensive and detailed guidance to authors of research papers#8212;term papers, theses, and dissertations. Now the editors of iThe Chicago Manual of Style/i have revised Turabian's iManual/i to bring the details of style into conformity with the fourteenth edition of iThe Chicago Manual/i. This new edition of iTurabian/i also reflects the way students work today, taking into account the role of personal computers in the preparation and presentation of their papers. BRBRThe 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.BRBRAuthoritative, 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.BRBRKate Turabian (1893-1987) was dissertation secretary at the University of Chicago from 1930 to 1958. This manual and her iStudent's Guide for Writing College Papers/i made her name so well known that she has become "part of the folklore of American higher education" (iQuill and Scroll/i)./DIV

While excellent in its own right, the 15th Edition Chicago Manual contains all this work's information and then some. Indeed, the Chicago Manual is more extensive, detailed, and useful in general. Don't bother with this one if you have any heavy writing to do.

Kate Turabian Book for Writers May 12, 2007
The book was recommended by a professor at my university. I found it to be a nice addition to my collection of background for doctoral style writing. It is in a nice format like an index or outline and easy to follow as a reference when writing.br /
