When only a single author is listed for a text, a typical reference entry will appear as follows:

Bowlby, J. (1973). Attachment and loss. New York:

       Basic Books.

The entry should begin with the author's last name,followed by the initial(s). Date of publication follows, in parentheses. The title should be italicized, but only the first word should be capitalized. Place of publication comes next, then the publisher. Use a colon after the place of publication. Each portion of the entry is separated by a period and two spaces.
