    Довольно неплохой и в меру детализированный обзор профессии технического писателя и её особенностей. В книге можно найти немало полезных советов, которые пригодятся для работы с текстом в принципе, необязательно с техническим. Книга слегка устарела в части информации об интернете и технических особенностях ПК, впрочем, этого можно было ожидать - прогресс не стоит на месте). Ну и раздел, посвящённый грамматике, не подходит русскому читателю: в английском языке правила пунктуации отличаются от тех, что приняты в русском. Тем не менее, книга интересно и понятно написана, не без доли изящества даже. И может быть полезна вдумчивому и желающему овладеть искусством хорошего письма начинающему профессионалу.

    Waiting is perhaps the most tedious part of the grant writing process because the ball’s no longer in your court.

      In any good architecture, the vision drives the details, and the details shape the vision. Therefore, a good outcome depends on a good design. It requires a knowledge of how people learn, and it deserves a lot of time and care.

        Tables carry more information per space than the same amount of text — yet they’re often overlooked by technical writers.
