"The Longman Handbook is geared toward a community of writers who are literate and articulate people desiring to understand the latest technologies and to use them effectively. The text emphasizes the importance of applying the information contained in the book to real-life situations, so the value of the text extends beyond the level of freshman writing and encourages students to think of writing as a long-life skill. . . . The book is designed to appeal to the student of today and to help that student more successfully toward tomorrow."
—Jane Long, Southwest Oklahoma State University
"The style of the Longman Handbook is eminently accessible and appropriate for our students. I would characterize The Longman Handbook as considerate primarily; alsó, friendly, colorful, thorough, accessible, and morál (in reference to its focus on writing as a social act)"
—Edward Armstrong, University ofArkansas, Fayetteville
"It takes seriously a new generation of students hungiy for material that recognizes a need for learning to use computers for more than word processing. By going into detail in an interesting and originál way, the second edition provides computer communication strategies, protocols, links, citations, and tools that can inform and educate not only students but alsó faculty, and, potentially, the community-at-large."
