Synopsis
Clear, precise writing for technical subjects. Learn how to convey complex ideas without losing the reader.
This practical guide argues that careful language is essential to the transfer of ideas in science and engineering. It offers focused advice on choosing precise terms, shaping sentences, and organizing information so readers can grasp details quickly. Drawing on examples from mining and technical literature, it shows how poor wording and journalese obscure meaning and slow progress. The book emphasizes standard English usage in technical writing and provides concrete guidance on common problem areas, from word choice to sentence structure and document design.
