APA (American Psychological Association) – In this style, the second line (and any additional lines) of a citation are indented. The annotation starts on a new line and is indented two additional spaces from the citation. Check with your professor for any specific requirements.

Roughgarden, J. (2004). Evolution’s rainbow: Diversity, gender, and sexuality in nature and people. Berkeley:

University of California Press.

This book is a discussion of the diversity in sexuality and gender among fish,

reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals. The author’s main argument is that

Darwin’s theory of sexual selection is false. This book is written for a wide audience

and will likely satisfy the needs of most readers. Those with an interest in this area

will probably want to consult other resources, including the ones cited by the author.

The author is a Professor of Biological Sciences at Stanford University. She is also a

transgendered woman and writes from that perspective, although she is careful to

present both sides of an argument.
