The Concise English Handbook, Second Edition, is based on the principle that writing is a purposeful process involving discovery, precision in thought and language, and sensitivity to audience. The Handbook offers succinct guidance in the processes of writing and in the features of edited American EngUsh. It is more than a grammar book although it does treat grammatical topics; it is more than simply a compendium of "rules" although it does survey the conventions of edited American English. Instead, this is a manual emphasizing how writers think and how writing affects readers. For example, the text not only defines and illustrates types of modifiers, it also discusses the contexts in which writers use modifiers and identifies the effects they have on readers; it not only defines and illustrates common writing errors, it discusses why writers make such errors and identifies their undesirable effects on readers.
