Begin the bibliographic entry with the name of the author. The title of the chapter, placed within quotation marks, goes next, followed by a period. Include the title of the book in italics or underlined, followed by a period. Conclude the entry with the publication information and page numbers of the entire book chapter (and not simply the parts that you cite within your text).
Jones, James. "American Economy Before the Civil War." American History. New Haven: Yale UP, 1986. 304-357.
