 Right on target for today's communication September 16, 2008
The information that is contained in the book is right on point with the ongoing issues with corporate communication. The book works well with the course which enables the professor to assign tasks that align with the text. The companion website is also a great resource to use.
A valuable reference for the real world December 4, 2000
I am using this book for my technical communication course and I am very impressed. Being an engineer, I am usually weary of English classes, but a good teacher and this book have made my tech com class very worth my while. The book does a very good job of providing outlines for various types of documents without just providing a fill in the blanks form. It even addresses internet issues such as web site analysis and email etiquette.Perhaps the best testimony for this book is that the author practices what she teaches. The book uses the ideas taught by the book and this makes it an easy read. I will be keeping this book after my course is over. I anticipate it being a useful reference after I graduate.
Probably best on the market September 19, 2000

I have been a teacher of technical and scientific writing for over 15 years. I feel I have to write a review of this new edition because I truly think it is the best textbook on technical communication on the market. This is a truly superior learning and teaching resource not only because of the range of topics it covers, but also because of the very interesting examples it uses throughout. It also is very up to date; this new edition draws on current research on reading and writing, not old stuff, as some of the other popular text books do. The teacher's guide also makes this text easy to use, and provides lots of material useful in class preparation.
