Synopsis
This is an innovative approach to writing for professional writers, college students and professors, K-12 teachers, and self-taught writers. The irreverent title is testimony to the lively writing style this book encourages. Adios challenges the tradtional grammar associated with Strunk & White's Elements of Style, the standby for teachers and writers for decades. The authors of Adios demystify the complexities of style and form; then give original, sometimes startling, explanations to demonstrate their use. Examples are amazingly diverse ranging from masterpieces to the off-beat, from the humanities to the sciences.
