About this product

Product Information

For close to sixty years Kate L. Turabian's Manual for Writers has offered comprehensive and detailed guidance to authors of research papers--term papers, theses, and dissertations. Now the editors of The Chicago Manual of Style have revised Turabian's Manual to bring the details of style into conformity with the fourteenth edition of The Chicago Manual . This new edition of Turabian also reflects the way students work today, taking into account the role of personal computers in the preparation and presentation of their papers. The familiar organization of this popular book remains largely unchanged. Chapter 1 describes the parts of a long formal paper. Chapters 2-5 introduce the mechanics of writing style, from abbreviations to quotations. Chapters 6 and 7 show how to prepare and refer to tables and illustrations. The section on documentation, chapters 8-12, describes two of the most commonly used systems of citation; these chapters provide many examples including guidance on how to cite electronic documents. Chapter 13, on manuscript preparation, shows how to take advantage of word processing software to present the elements of a paper clearly and effectively. Chapter 14 offers more than two dozen sample pages illustrating ways of formatting some of the complex features found in many research papers. Authoritative, comprehensive, easy to use, and filled with good sense, this new edition will be the standard for yet another generation of students and their teachers. Kate Turabian (1893-1987) was dissertation secretary at the University of Chicago from 1930 to 1958. This manual and her Student's Guide for Writing College Papers made her name so well known that she has become part of the folklore of American higher education ( Quill and Scroll ).

Great manual for college students of all ages
My son was recently looking for a guide to refer to while preparing a specific project in one of his college courses. This book had been recommended by one of his professors and the copies he had located were in the $25.00 range. I looked at the book and had to agree that this was THE manual to have if someone needed to submit work in the "Chicago Style" also known as the "Turabian Style". Easy to understand and follow while doing preliminary drafts through the final manuscript. After we agreed this was definitely the guide my son had been looking for, I was very pleased to find it at an excellent price. In fact I would have had no second thoughts about paying full price for this item.

A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses: by Turbian
I have recently started graduate studies and this book is very useful for papers. You would not need to be in graduate studies to use it. The book is basically an abbreviated guide of the Chicago writing format. Men of few words are the best men. William Shakespeare

Outdated
I attempted to use this book for a paper that included lots of music references. The book deals inadequately with music. It is confusing to find one's way around because music is listed under five or six areas, some of which actually do not apply. The 1990s edition I bought does not deal with the internet in a meaningful way, and the requirements for citing a musical composition are beyond what the music industry itself requires. I'm suggesting to the college that they find a better manual.

A must have for those seeking a Master's degree.
I was blindsided by needing to learn this manual for writes. I was forced to use MLA and APA standards for most of my life and never new of the Turabian Style. This book is a must have for those seeking graduate degrees.
