Writing for the Technical Professions


Kristin R. Woolever, "Writing for the Technical Professions (4th Edition) (MyTechCommKit Series)"
Publisher: Longman | ISBN: 0321477472 | edition 2007 | PDF | 528 pages | 28 mb

Increasingly, students and instructors in technical communication courses express concern that their textbooks don't correspond to real-world situations and requirements, and that they fail to present information that is accessible, concise, straightforward, and most important, applicable to life outside college courses. This edition of Writing for the Technical Professions continues to pay special attention to the real-world context in which technical communication is carried out and to the kind of books that professionals actually use on the job. Contemporary technical communication takes place in fast-paced industry environments, is often conducted by teams of collaborators, relies increasingly on electronic media, and is highly global in concept. This fourth edition focuses on exactly those areas: collaboration, the electronic workplace, and most critically, communicating globally.
