My Own Devices is a concept book: a series of stories in which the main character, Corey Frost, is left to his own devices in Japan, St. Petersburg, Sumatra, Macau, Montreal, and other locations. His devices include various telephones, cameras, tiny Japanese cars and mini-disc recorders, as well as a backpack full of witty, occasionally satirical literary gimmicks. It's a fun, irreverent take on the first-collection cliché, full of post-colonial unpredictability and tinged with début-de-siècle angst.

“Even the most useful reference guides are not always, well, shall we say, riveting. A refreshing exception is the new Broadview Guide to Writing, which is smart, helpful, and even fun to read.” ―Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein, authors of They Say / I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing Key Features <ul> ―A coil-bound reference text suitable for a range of introductory composition and writing courses ―Divided into three sections: <ul> Writing Processes (including Research, Argumentation, and Style) Writing Mechanics (Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation) Writing Contexts (Writing in different academic disciplines, Forms and conventions, and citation)</ul>
 ―Comprehensive treatment of citation style guides, with 2016 MLA style updates ―Expanded treatment of research methods, argument structures, and writing in the workplace ―A unique section on “How to Be Good With Words”―issues of gender, race, class, religion, sexual orientation, disability, etc. ―Expanded coverage for those whose native language is not English ―All-new chapter on reading images ―Extensive companion website featuring interactive exercises

Increasingly, writing handbooks are seen as over-produced and overpriced. One stands out: The Broadview Guide to Writing is published in an elegant but simple format, and sells for roughly half the price of its fancier-looking competitors. That does not change with the new edition; what does change and stay up-to-date is the content of the book. The sixth edition brings a substantial re-organization of the contents under three headings: Writing Processes, Writing Mechanics, and Writing Contexts. Coverage of APA, Chicago, and CSE styles of documentation has been substantially expanded, and the MLA section has now been fully revised to take into account all the 2016 changes. Also expanded is coverage of academic argument; of writing and critical thinking; of writing about literature, of paragraphing; of how to integrate quoted material into one’s own work; of balance and parallelism; and of issues of gender, race, religion etc. in writing. The chapter “Seeing and Meaning: Reading (and Writing About) Visual Images” is entirely new to the sixth edition.

Increasingly, writing handbooks are seen as over-produced and overpriced. One stands out: The Broadview Guide to Writingis published in an elegant but simple format, and sells for roughly half the price of its fancier-looking competitors. That does not change with the new edition; what does change and stay up-to-date is the content of the book. The seventh Canadian edition brings a substantial re-organization of the contents under three headings: Writing Processes, Writing Mechanics, and Writing Contexts. Coverage of the MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE styles of documentation has been substantially revised to reflect the most recent updates, including the 2020 APA and 2021 MLA changes. As in earlier editions, the Broadview Guideoffers wide ranging coverage of academic argument; of writing and critical thinking; and of writing about literature. Coverage of personal and informal writing is included for the first time--as is a sample literary essay in MLA style (in addition to the sample MLA interdisciplinary essay).

For many years, the coverage of grammar and usage in The Broadview Guide to Writing has received particular praise. Now, for the first time, that material is made available in a stand-alone volume. Readable, reliable, and comprehensive, The Broadview Guide to Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation is appropriate for students at all post-secondary levels. The book is divided into four sections. The Grammar section provides unrivalled coverage of complete and incomplete sentences, dangling constructions, and other subjects that give many writers special difficulty. The Usage section offers sensible and up-to-date advice on hundreds of points that frequently cause confusion. The Punctuation section provides a wealth of helpful guidance on all aspects of punctuation, with particular attention paid to such vexed questions as when to use the colon and the semi-colon, and (when using quotation marks) how to properly integrate quotations into one's own text. A final section, English as an Additional Language, gives a wide range of helpful advice on special issues that may arise for those whose native language is not English. A companion website provides hundreds of exercises on every topic covered in the book itself. Many of these are interactive; on completing an exercise, students are told how they did - and explanations are provided as to why the right answers are right and the wrong answers are wrong.
