Back in the day, it championed a fairly new, down-right revolutionary, view that reports didn't have to be dull to be informative, and getting rid of the excessive use of the passive voice, and allowing the use of the first person perspective, would be good first steps. But what about today? Well, any book telling today's generation how to actually glean valuable information from sources that can't be Googled would be a good start. Or how to generate a resume that didn't sound like it was generated by a computer, because, in fact, it wasn't, which just might impress an employer to give them that first job. Or, maybe just Chapter 19, Visual Presentation of Information: The many times, and wasted hours, in the last forty years I have wished a lecturer had read and comprehended this chapter instead of preparing slides, and Powerpoint presentations, which nobody else in the room could read or comprehend... It, along with Strunk and White's "Elements of Style," have served me well throughout my engineering career.
