Editorial Reviews
Review
'Excellent ... easy to read, refreshingly candid ... just plain good advice.' Technical Communication
'For the engineer, computer scientist, manager, or technical writer who needs to prepare a document quickly and effectively.' Academic Library Book Review
'How to Write and Present Technical Information is both enjoyable and thought-provoking, and the book itself is the best evidence that Sides knows his subject. I think almost all technical professionals would benefit from reading him at their leisure, and reflecting on the advice he offers.' Rachael Padman, The Observatory
'I found it to be so clearly set out that I just read through it almost like a novel without getting bored ... not only is this book excellent for personal use but it would be a first-class text to use as a basis for a course - short or long - on communication in general. if you have any interest at all in running such a course you could do a lot worse than make this your first, and possibly only, buy. Overall: highly recommended.' Robin Jakeways, Physics Education --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
