Baywood Publishing Co., 1992. Hardcover textbook, 9-1/4" tall, 251 pp. including bib. and index.This copy could be listed as in very good condition, but it does have some underlining and notes from previous owner. No serious flaws with text or binding. Looks relatively little used except for the marks. Not exactly a practical (or how-to) composition guide, but more theoretical in scope. Probably used in a grad. course on technical communications or even literary theory or criticism. Illus. with figures.

This important new text invites readers to step back from their busy professional lives and look at technical communication philosophically, to ask fundamental questions such as what does it mean to communicate? and how do language and graphics - the ""signs"" or ""tools"" of the technical communicator - relate to action in a technological world? Through this excursion in the theory of technical discourse, you will discover a fresh approach to reports, manuals, and proposals produced and consumed daily in business, government, and research organizations around the world. The authors examine familiar genres in two relatively new ways.

Store description
I started selling books online around 1997-8, first on Bibliofind and then on Amazon. In my youth, I worked for a college textbook store and later at a university library. So I'm no stranger to scholarly books. Although semi-retired now, I still collect books and currently list for sale items no longer wanted in my personal library. Thus I do not have a large inventory as I am working from home. Still, I have an eclectic collection as befits a former librarian. My stock includes textbooks and scholarly books, with an emphasis on history, philosophy, and religion. My approval rating when I was with Amazon was 99% (2 were neutral). I'll try to accommodate any reasonable request.…
