The Craft of Scientific Writing
From review of the first edition"This book offers effective methods for improving writing efficiency and overcoming difficulties during the preparation of technical information."Robert L. Schmitt, Doctoral Candidate at the University of Wisconsin"A refreshing addition to a genre dominated by English teacher-style textbooks. Instead of listing rules that constrain writers, the book uses examples to lay out the path to successful communication … Especially helpful (and entertaining) is the chapter on the writing process. Anyone who has spent more time avoiding a writing task than actually doing it will appreciate Alley's tips."–Dr. Ellen Ochoa, Deputy Director of Flight Crew Operations, Johnson Space Center
