Summarize:

In APA style, you only use initials for the first and last name. Follow the last name with a comma, then add the person's first and middle initial, if both are included.  For instance, your citation would begin like this one: Ford, R. G.  If the source has more than one author, separate them by commas and an ampersand. Ford, R. G., Macintosh, J. P., & Rose, P. M. Place the year in parentheses, and follow it by a period. You can find the year of publication on the front or back of the title page. Your entry will be like this: Ford, R. G. (2015). Place the title in italics. Use sentence-style capitalization, which means you capitalize the first word only (and any proper nouns). That includes capitalizing the first word after a colon. Your citation now is like this: Ford, R. G. (2015). The benefits of natural grass. Add the city of publication, a comma, and the state's abbreviation. Then, put a colon, followed by the publisher. Use a period after the publisher.  Now, your entry will look this way: Ford, R. G. (2015). The benefits of natural grass. Eugene, Oregon: University of Oregon.  This citation is complete if you have no other information. Put the edition in parentheses using numbers (2nd, 3rd, etc.) and the abbreviation "ed." Put it before the title's final period. You can find this information on the back of the title page. The citation would be like this: Ford, R. G. (2015). The benefits of natural grass (3rd ed.). Eugene, Oregon: University of Oregon. Place the translator in parentheses with the initials, then the last name. Add the abbreviation "Trans." after the person's name. It should go after the title's final period. Your citation will look like this: Ford, R. G. (2015). The benefits of natural grass. (Frank Roberts, Trans.). Eugene, Oregon: University of Oregon. This citation goes in the sentence where you're citing the information. Use the author's last name, either in the sentence or in parentheses before the end punctuation. Then, add the year of publication, a comma, and a page number. While the page number isn't strictly necessary unless you're using a direct quote, it's still a good idea to include it.  Your citation will look like this: As noted by Ford (2015, p. 124), AstroTurf isn't a good alternative to grass.  At the end of the sentence, it would look like this: AstroTurf is not a viable substitute for real grass (Ford, 2015, p. 124).  If you need to add multiple authors, write it this way: As noted by Ford, Macintosh, & Rose (2015, p. 88), AstroTurf can be damaging to players.  After the first citation with multiple authors, write it like this: As noted by Ford et al. (2015, p. 75), AstroTurf is detrimental.
Use the author's last name first to create a citation in the reference list. Add the year of publication next. Put the title of the book next. Place the location and publisher next. Add the addition after the title if second edition or later. Include the translator after the title if it has one. Create the in-text citation.
