A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations: 8th Edition; Chicago Style for Students and Researchers
A little more than seventy-five years ago, Kate L. Turabian drafted a set of guidelines to help students understand how to write, cite, and formally submit research writing. Seven editions and more than nine million copies later, the name Turabian has become synonymous with best practices in research writing and style. Her Manual for Writers continues to be the gold standard for generations of college and graduate students in virtually all academic disciplines. Now in its eighth edition, A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations has been fully revised to meet the needs of today's writers and researchers.
Both reliable and innovative, The Bedford Guide for College Writers involves students in active learning, whether their writing class meets on campus or online.

Learning by Doing activities, Responding to an Image practices, and engaging assignments all help students make important writing skills their own.
