  • "Many professional people in science and technology have an excellent command of their technical subject, but have difficulty in expressing their knowledge in simple, accurate English. Good Style explains the tactics that can be used to write technical material in a coherent, readable style. The book discusses in detail the choices of vocabulary, phrasing and sentence structure. Each piece of advice is supported by many examples of writing from a variety of technical contexts. The advice itself is based on evidence of the styles preferred by technical readers (not just by English specialists). John Kirkman draws from his many years of experience lecturing on communication studies in Europe, the USA, the Middle East and Hong Kong, both in academic programmes and in courses for large companies, research centres and government departments. Good Style will rapidly become a standard reference book on the shelf of students of science, technology and computing. It will also be an essential aid to all professionals whose work involves writing of reports, papers, guides, manuals or on-screen texts, and who wish to express themselves simply, accurately and clearly."@en
