Summary: great guide by a great teacher
Review: Dr. Rampolla is one of my favorite teachers, but i'm not biased at all when it comes to this book. It is really good! It isn't too complicated but it doesn't leave things out. A good investment for any history class.

Summary: great up-to-date mla info, especially for online sources
Review: this is better than the diana hacker book. it covers all mla and footnote-style citing possibilities and gives various hints on what to include and what not to include in the bibliography. for example, i cited 87 sources in my thesis. rampolla says to exclude all interviews and personal communications used. also, periodical articles can be listed under the heading of the one newspaper or magazine with a timeline include. it really cuts down on work time! not to mention it comprehensively tackles citing www info. highly recommended for all social studies students researching in college or in high school ap classes.
