"Overall, Burnett's book combines more than sufficient coverage of important tech comm issues and skills in a way that is both sophisticated and approachable (and that even looks inviting on the page). It is a very usable book, not just a lot of information to read, and its scope goes beyond just the basic tech writing service course. It is also a professional text (not a gussied-up "composition" textbook with "technical" examples).", What distinguishes this book is the strong rhetorical focus, numerous helpful figures with annotations, and a strong organization and layout. The book is very usable. I did some tests with the index to see if I could find the things I normally cover in the service course, and I had no problem at all. I also think that the book is very teachable. I train our graduate students who teach the service course, and many of them are in literature. So they are simultaneously learning about the field while teaching.|9781413001891|, The thing I like best about the book is the strong, consistent rhetorical focus combined with its fantastic organization, easy readability.
