Note publique d'information : "The venerable, time-tested guide to style, usage, and grammar -- an indispensable
reference informing the editorial canon with sound, definitive advice. Much has happened
in the years since the publication of the seventeenth edition of The Chicago Manual
of Style. The world has transformed, and the Manual has risen to meet the moment.
The eighteenth edition of this classic guide for writers, editors, and publishers
is the most extensive revision in two decades. Every chapter has been reexamined with
diversity and accessibility in mind, and major changes include updated and expanded
coverage of pronoun use and inclusive language, revised guidelines on capitalization,
and broader range of examples, new coverage of Indigenous languages, and expanded
advice on making publications accessible to people with disabilities. The Manual's
traditional focus on nonfiction has been expanded to encompass fiction and other creative
genres, and the needs of self-published authors also receive wider attention. The
citation chapters have been thoroughly reorganized for the benefit of new and experienced
users alike, and key concepts for editing mathematics have been integrated into the
chapters where they will be most useful to generalists. Evolving technologies -- including
open-access publishing models and AI -- are covered throughout. And naturally, there
are some well-considered updates to familiar rules, including changes intended to
align the Manual's recommendations more closely with real-world usage. As with every
new edition, devotees of the Manual will find much to discover and ponder."
