Technical Communication

This book emphasizes the problem-solving process and stresses the integrated, recursive nature of producing effective documents, encouraging writers to think of invention and revision as on-going processes. It encourages readers to think of visuals as ways to present information, and to think of language as having the power to shape and influence reader's perceptions. The traditional concerns of technical communication - techniques such as definitions, descriptions, processes; forms such as correspondence, reports and proposals - are always related to the rhetorical elements of purpose, audience and design.
