Format:Paperback
Technical writing is essential for all university students because if they can write efficiently and express themselves well and precisely, it will be easier for them to relay their ideas to others and hence find jobs easily, write well balanced reports, and more importantly perhaps know what they are writng and talking about. The more organozed one's speech or writing is, the more effective one will be. Non-native speakers of English, however, do not think oral and written communication is that important but once they use this book in an English class under the guidance of their teachers, they ABSOLUTELY CHANGE THEIR IDEAS I recommend this book to all teachers of English teaching English at freshman or sophomore level.

Best technical writing book ever.
2 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
I've seen a lot of (technical) writing books and most of them are just crap. You don't need a 50-page chapter to teach you how to put citations in your paper. You don't need double spaced text as if you are an elementary school student.
But this book is different. It help you focus on your your article/report/book at any level you desire from the overall organization to the proper selection of words. It gives you sophisticated advice that is actually useful and time tested.
I am an engineer, and I have used this book when writing my masters and PhD theses and a number of paper. I have used it when I wrote a patent application. My wife is a social scientist and she uses it for writing her thesis.
I have been using this book for about 10 years now, and I assure you it will improve your writing at every level. This book should be number one seller in its category.

Excellent explanation
28 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
I bought this book by chance. But, I realized no other books cannot be compared with this book. other books say how I could rearrange the layout and order of my documents. This book teaches how I should write the sentences and paragraphs and the sections in scientific fields. This is very useful for nonnative speakers of english especially!
