APA: The Easy Way! Description
This book simplifies the mechanics of conveying ideas in a
scholarly fashion.
The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition) provides a writing style that is used by
many academic and nonacademic institutions and publications.
However, this highly regarded manual is not specifically geared
toward scholarly academic writing...especially college term
papers. The authors of this book draw information from the
manual that is specific to academic writing and expand upon
it using set-up instructions and a sample paper. The end result
of this transformational process yields a useful guide that can
be used along with the actual manual for successful academic
writing.
The handbook covers many detailed specifications of the APA
style...including in-text citations, source citations, and a sample
paper. It also sheds new light on the manual using step-by-step
processes and exemplification that enable readers to fulfill APA
rules and regulations while focusing on content, rather than the
format, of their academic research.

I purchased this book as an afterthought, but after reading the first three of four pages, it bacame one of my best investments. Ms. Houghton takes the reader step by step in setting your computer up in APA Style, then the remainder of the book is a quick reference for some of the most frequently used information. It's compact and now rides in my briefcase all of the time. I have several other learners at my workplace and they now have order copies as well.

No one can ever rationalize the logic in using APA style in areas other than the Psychological Sciences. Yet there we are, those of use whose studies have little or nothing to do with this area of study. In this regard the APA The Easy Way is a godsend. It takes the pain of dealing with the APA Manual, cuts through the BS and tells you the "meat" of what you really need to know to conform to this style of writing. It could definitely use some more sample papers. It would help to make comprehending the style easier if you could see it used is someone's work. Additionally, it would help immensely if it quoted the page numbers in the actual APA Manual from where each area addressed was taken from. This would help just in case you are challenged to provide a specific reference from where you followed APA formatting. All-in-all a very simple and easy-to-use guide that helps take the sting out of writing APA style.
