Excerpt

<h2>CHAPTER 1</h2><p><b>Abstract</b></p><br><p>EXAMPLE: <b>Abstract of <i>Twenty-One Genres, Brock Dethier</i></b></p><br><p><i>Twenty-One Genres</i> strives to be the smallest, most inexpensive all-purposewriting text on the college composition market. Author Brock Dethier, directorof the composition program at Utah State University, offers descriptionsof twenty-one common genres, from abstract to wiki, and suggests for eachgenre a series of writing "moves." The book presents over two hundred such"moves"—thinking, writing, reading, and researching activities divided into tenchapters, from "Solve Your Process Problems" and "Discover" to "Revise" and"Present." The book is written to be useful to the individual writer, whether ornot the writer is currently in a writing class.</p><br><p><b><i>Questions about the example:</i></b></p><p>1. Does it show you anything new about the book or emphasize things thatyou didn't realize were so important?</p><p>2. What details tip you off that the book's author wrote the abstract?</p><p>3. Boiling hundreds of pages down into a paragraph as I did here is a specializedwriting skill. Can you think of other writing situations where such askill might be useful?</p><p>EXAMPLE: <b>Using Geophysical Methods to Study the ShallowSubsurface of a Sensitive Alpine Environment, Niwot Ridge,Colorado Front Range, USA, Matthias Leopold, David Dethier,Jõrg Võlkel, Thomas Raab, Tyler Corsonrickert, and Nel Caine</b></p><p>This example is the first part of a much longer article. It needs to explain to otherexperts what's new and interesting in the work discussed, but the authors alsohope to give even non-experts a window into the work. Consider the problemthese geologists face: how can they learn about the rock beneath the surface ofthe earth without digging holes or using other such "invasive" techniques?</p><br><p><b>Abstract</b></p><p>Shallow seismic refraction (SSR) and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) arenon-invasive geophysical techniques that enhance studies of the shallow subsurfacedeposits which control many geomorphic and biogeochemical processes.These techniques permit measuring the thickness and material propertiesof these deposits in sensitive alpine area without using extensive pitsand trenches that can impact current biogeospheric processes or distort themfor future research. Application of GPR and SSR along 1.5 km of geophysicallines shows that layers of fine to coarse, blocky deposits of periglacialorigin underlie alpine slopes in the vicinity of Niwot Ridge, Colorado FrontRange. Interpretation of geophysical and drilling data shows that depth tobedrock ranges from 4 to >10 m and is not simply related to local slope. Ourmeasurements suggest that ice lenses form seasonally beneath solifluctionlobes; ice was not present in adjacent areas. Ice lenses are associated withlocal ponded water and saturated sediments that result...
