Revel for The Little DK Handbook -- Combo Access Card

For first-year courses in Composition.

A focus on research with a distinctive design

With its distinctive, visually rich design, Revel™  The Little DK Handbook stands apart from comparable composition texts. Authors Wysocki and Lynch help readers learn to narrow down topics, find and cite sources properly, craft clear arguments, hone their individual voices, and more. An emphasis on research — including online resources — provides a solid foundation in information literacy, while grammar and documentation (e.g., MLA, APA, etc.) are handled in an approachable, accessible way. Unique two¿-page spreads marry design and content to make the text enjoyable and easy to understand, while new additions and revisions in the 3rd Edition expand on the fundamentals of research and writing.

Revel is Pearson’s newest way of delivering our respected content. Fully digital and highly engaging, Revel replaces the textbook and gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, Revel is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience – for less than the cost of a traditional textbook.

NOTE: This Revel Combo Access pack includes a Revel access code plus a loose-leaf print reference (delivered by mail) to complement your Revel experience. In addition to this access code, you will need a course invite link, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Revel.
