New to the 7th Edition
The new edition retains Writing Analytically’s emphasis on observation skills, but
it now integrates key heuristics, such as notice and focus and the method, under
broader organizing rubrics such as the Five Analytical Moves. (These key heuristics
are set in small capital letters so that they may be easily identified.) Our
primary task has been to better integrate, contextualize, and condense material
in the book. The book’s main topics—such as thesis, evidence, and writing with
sources—now appear in single, rather than multiple, chapters. For example,
the discussions of how to word thesis statements and how to revise weak ones
have now been combined. Similarly, the chapters on Forms & Formats and
Introductions and Conclusions have been condensed into a single chapter on
organization: Chapter 9, “From Paragraphs to Papers: Forms and Formats Across
the Curriculum.” The changes will make it easier for faculty and students to
choose what they need on each of the book’s major topics.
