Technical Writing: A Practical Guide for Engineers, Scientists, and Nontechnical Professionals, Second Edition


Enables readers to write, edit, and publish materials of a technical nature, including books, articles, reports, and electronic media.


Written by a renowned engineer and widely published technical author, this guide complements traditional writers' reference manuals on technical writing through presentation of first-hand examples that help readers understand practical considerations in writing and producing technical content.


These examples illustrate how a publication originates, as well as various challenges and solutions.


The second edition contains new material in every chapter, including new topics, additional examples, insights, tips, and tricks, new vignettes, and more exercises.


Appendices have been added for writing checklists and writing samples.


The references and glossary have been updated and expanded.


In addition, a focus on writing for the nontechnical persons working in the technology world and the nonnative English speaker has been incorporated.


Written in an informal, conversational style, unlike traditional college writing texts, the book also contains many interesting vignettes and personal stories to add interest to otherwise stodgy lessons.
