Editorial Reviews

Review

"The emphasis on the function of different kinds of visuals is excellent, as are the "how to construct" sections. Bravo!"

"My son, a geology major, used this text when he took the class (from a different instructor). He gave it good reviews and has kept it as a reference, even now that he’s working full-time."

5.0 out of 5 stars Technical Communications for a Purpose, November 25, 2008
I am so impressed with the book. My engineering students are pragmatists - they don't like arbitrary rules and someone else's idea of elegance. But this book shows them how to achieve objectives with written communications - something they really get. Effortless (almost) to read and provided with a number of checklist tools to remind the writer what he seeks to do and the means to do so, no student has indicated that this book was "not relevant". I use my copy often to work the academic decision making regime. A salute to Dr. Anderson!

This book helps readers understand how to write professional writings in most effective way. A lot of visuals and examples helped me a lot with the technical writing course.
