The information is succinct and to the point, and the supporting graphics are not only relevant but often admirable in the amount of information they convey." --David F. Beer, Ph.D., Director of Technical Communication, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Texas at Austin

Excellent book for written professional communication
6 Jan 2002
Format:Hardcover
This book mainly presents strategies to write effectively in real world engineering/science situations, assuring that what you write is really read. It shows how to present your ideas so that your target audience understands it. It describes the characteristics that a document aimed to a technical person, to a lay person and to a manager should have.
Besides, it shows how to write memos, letters, reports and even e-mails, explaining from the initial document outline, sentece/paragraph structure to the final polished form.
I wish I had read this book when I was an undergrad, I had to learn how to write effectivelly in the hard way.

Teacher and Engineer
14 Aug 2004
Format:Plastic Comb
The explanation for each particular topic is very concise and clear. I would recommend to have a look if it is available in your library. However, I would give a 5 star rating if the book provides more examples and visual aids.
