Technical Communication Today reflects the influence of computers on the development, design and delivery of technical documents and presentations. The text focuses on skills that will help you write clearly, speak persuasively, and create functional, attractive texts. You'll learn how to use visual-spatial techniques to research, invent, draft, design, and edit your work. Organized around readable narrative "chunks" combined with graphics, Technical Communication Today allows you to quickly find what you need and get things done. The 7th Edition offers revised chapters, new exercises and projects, and 7 new case studies featuring the experiences of entrepreneurs in today's scientific and technical workplaces. Innovation and entrepreneurship are emphasized in each chapter and transcultural issues have been expanded to reflect a globalized world.
