Designed to help scientists and engineers - including professionals already active in the disciplines and students preparing to enter the professions - write about their work clearly and effectively. The author, a writer and an applied physicist, approaches the subject in a fresh way. Using scores of examples from a wide variety of authors and (e.g., Einstein, Bohr, and Freud), the book demonstrates the difference between strong scientific writing and weak scientific writing.. It includes many useful suggestions about approaching a wide variety of writing tasks - from laboratory reports to grant proposals, from internal communications to press releases - and constitutes a concise guide to style and usage appropriate for scientific writing.
