<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p> This concise, affordable, and very practical guide to technical writing takes a hands-on approach: its aim is to move students from reading about technical writing to doing technical writing as quickly as possible. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p> <em>A Strategic Guide to Technical Communication</em> incorporates useful and specific strategies for writers, to enable them to create aesthetically appealing and usable technical documentation. These strategies have been developed and tested on a thousand students from a number of different disciplines over twelve years and three institutions. The second edition adds a chapter on business communication, reworks the discussion on technical style, and expands the information on visual communication and ethics into free-standing chapters. </p> <p> The text is accompanied by a passcode-protected website containing materials for instructors (PowerPoint lectures, lesson plans, sample student work, and helpful links). </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p> "<em>A Strategic Guide to Technical Communication</em> provides clear and focused instruction on important elements of technical writing, including genre, structure, purpose, usability, visuals, and technical prose. My students found the explanations and guidance offered consistently accessible and useful. I appreciated the well-grounded theoretical approach, as well as the pedagogical support. The second edition strengthens an already valuable textbook by bringing genres to the fore, treating ethics more distinctly, and focusing on issues specific to technical prose, particularly clarity and plain language. The use-value of this textbook is outstanding!" -- Patricia Lynne, Framingham State University </p> <p> "<em>A Strategic Guide to Technical Communication</em> covers all the important concepts in an undergraduate Technical Writing class. It has chapters on necessary forms and formats and also pays a good deal of attention to the nuances of persuasive writing and what constitutes clear technical prose. The book is easy to follow, clear, and precise. I highly recommend it." -- Andrea Clark Mason, Washington State University </p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>Heather Graves</strong> is Associate Professor of English at the University of Alberta. </p> <p> <strong>Roger Graves</strong> is Professor of English and Director of Writing Across the Curriculum at the University of Alberta. </p>
