Editorial Reviews

"This book would be a great tool for fostering discussion in an introductory-level technical writing class, as it covers a wide range of topics from the name of the field (technical writing) to writign for international readers. The essays would be great starting places for students to learn that there is more to technical writing than just editing or writing manuals." Laura Dumin, Assistant Professor and Director of Technical Writing, University of Central Oklahoma, Technical Communication, 216, vol. 63, no. 4, p. 382.
