Summary
Technical Writing: Principles, Strategies and Readings offers a flexible combination of instructional chapters and readings that reflect today's technical writing classroom.
The fifteen instructional chapters offer a comprehensive introduction to technical communication, while articles from professional journals and Web sites-which comprise about one-fourth of the text-offer insight and advice on specific communication topics, including writing for the Web. Each concise, self-contained instructional unit includes extended models and exercises which can be used in class or for collaborative or homework assignments. Students who study technical writing as part of their career preparation in science, business, engineering, social services and technical fields will find this text particularly useful.Author Notes
