xiii, 197 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. First published nearly twenty years ago, Writing for social scientists has become a lifesaver for writers in all fields, from beginning students to published authors. Sociologist Howard S. Becker's message is clear: in order to learn how to write, take a deep breath and then begin writing. Revise. Repeat. In this new edition, Becker takes account of major changes in the computer tools available today and also substantially expands his analysis of how academic institutions create problems for writers. As competition in higher education grows increasingly heated, "Writing for Social Scientists" will provide solace to a new generation of frazzled, would-be writers. -- Cover Freshman English for graduate students -- Persona and authority -- One right way -- Editing by ear -- Learning to write as a professional -- Risk / by Pamela Richards -- Getting it out the door -- Terrorized by the literature -- Writing with computers -- A final word.
