商品描述
<內容簡介>
With more than 200,000 copies in print, The Craft of Research is the
unrivaled resource for researchers at every level, from first-year
undergraduates to research reporters at corporations and government offices.
Now, seasoned researchers and educators Gregory G. Colomb and Joseph M. Williams
present an updated third edition of their classic handbook, whose first and
second editions were written in collaboration with the late Wayne C. Booth. The
Craft of Research explains how to build an argument that motivates readers to
accept a claim; how to anticipate the reservations of readers and to respond to
them appropriately; and how to create introductions and conclusions that answer
that most demanding question, “So what?”The third edition includes an expanded
discussion of the essential early stages of a research task: planning and
drafting a paper. The authors have revised and fully updated their section on
electronic research, emphasizing the need to distinguish between trustworthy
sources (such as those found in libraries) and less reliable sources found with
a quick Web search. A chapter on warrants has also been thoroughly reviewed to
make this difficult subject easier for researchers. Throughout, the authors have
preserved the amiable tone, the reliable voice, and the sense of directness that
have made this book indispensable for anyone undertaking a research project.
