Technical Communications for a Purpose, 2008-11-26
I am so impressed with the book. My engineering students are pragmatists - they don't like arbitrary rules and someone else's idea of elegance. But this book shows them how to achieve objectives with written communications - something they really get. Effortless (almost) to read and provided with a number of checklist tools to remind the writer what he seeks to do and the means to do so, no student has indicated that this book was "not relevant". I use my copy often to work the academic decision making regime. A salute to Dr. Anderson!

This is an excellent and comprehensive guide to tech writing, 1999-07-30
This book is an excellent guide to technical writing. It provides clear, organized recommendations that are supported by research. It provides practical advice for writers in situations ranging from writing reports to reviewing colleagues work to creating web pages and writing email. Although there are 20 chapters, because it's so useful and well-written, it's a pretty quick read. A colleague let me borrow it and I think it's the best book I've found yet on the subject.
