Martinich (philosophy and history and government, U. of Texas-Austin) helps philosophy students write papers and essays at the simplest level, as a stepping stone toward building their own styles. Among the aspects he discusses are author and audience, structure, tactics for analytic writing, some constraints on content, and problems with introductions. The first edition was published in 1989 by Prentice-Hall, and the second in 1996 by Blackwell. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
