predicate, which together express a complete thought that can stand
alone (see p. 231). When two main clauses fall together, readers need
a signal that one clause is ending and another is beginning. The following box shows the ways to provide this signal.

Working with sources

ecosystems, life-supporting environmental services, and critical natural

cycles are driven not only by the sheer number of resource users and
the inefficiencies of their resource use, but also by the patterns of
resource use themselves. In global environmental policymaking arenas,
it is becoming more and more difficult to ignore the fact that overdeveloped countries must restrain their consumption if they expect
underdeveloped countries to embrace a more sustainable trajectory.
And while global population growth still remains a huge issue in many
regions around the worldboth rich and poorper-capita growth in
consumption is, for many resources, expanding eight to twelve times
faster than population growth.

Revising

Overconsumption may be a more significant cause of environmental problems

than increasing population is.

When you draft an essay, you work toward expressing and connecting
the ideas youve developed. If you change direction or run out of ideas
during drafting, you can always circle back to renew your purpose,
discover new ideas, or rethink your thesis.

You should find some momentum once youve started writing.

If not, however, or if your energy flags, try one or more of the folMLA list of works cited

Praise for The Little, Brown family of handbooks

I especially love The Little, Brown Handbook's comprehensive MLA

Nancy M. Staub, Lamar University
The grammar sections are exceptional and they are a real strength
of this text. We also use MyCompLab, and this program has been a
valuable resource for composition students.
I love the argument and research sectionsI think they are clear and
comprehensive. Especially good are the sections on critical thinking
and writing. I tell my students to keep referring back to (all of this)
when they're working on their own [writing].

Barbara Hanna, East Mississippi Community College

Jaquelyn S. Lyman, Anne Arundel Community College

The Little, Brown Handbook exceeds the needs of [our] course,
which is why we still use the book.
Richard F. Gaspar, Hillsborough Community College
The Culture-Language Guide is useful not only to ESL students, but
also to native speakers. The tips offered are helpful to students who
may not be cognizant of how language works and the most effective
ways to read and write with purpose.
