Writing in the Social Sciences cover

Writing in the Social Sciences: A Guide for Term Papers and Book Reviews is a practical, step-by-step guide to researching and writing argumentative term papers and book reviews. Accessible to both university and college students, the text walks them through creating an aim sentence, organizing arguments or headings and themes to demonstrate the aim, researching effectively, and documenting sources properly. Students will learn how using an outline will help them to refine their ideas, record their research, and write their term paper or book review. The steps are supported by examples, tables, figures, tips, and reminders.

"This book is straightforward and very readable. . . . The use of Canadian examples is a real selling point for me. I also appreciate the reference to more citation styles in this edition." --Shelly Ikebuchi, Okanagan College "The set-up of the book is great-students can pick and choose which sections to read, or they can read the book from cover to cover." --Janni Aragon, University of Victoria
