Synopsis:

Technical Writing: Principles, Strategies, and Readings continues to offer a flexible combination of instructional chapters and readings that reflect the variety of emphases in today's technical writing classroom. The instructional chapters offer a comprehensive presentation of technical communication, while articles from professional journals ― which constitute about one-third of the text ― offer insight and advice on specific communication topics. These readings also introduce students to important subjects related to technical writing not usually addressed in introductory texts.

Each concise and 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. The text's easy to read format makes it especially popular in classes with students who are non-native speakers of English.
