About the Book

This anthology of readings on technical writing will not only focus on the content and structure of technical writing, but will also discuss the political, interpersonal, and ethical demands of writing in a professional workplace. The readings will deal with technical writing while providing actual samples of technical writing itself, intended to provoke thoughtful discussion and encourage thinking about issues of credibility, situation, strategy, ethics, and relation.
