A prolific and award-winning writer, Lee Martin has put pen to paper to offer his wisdom, honed during thirty years of teaching the oh-so-elusive art of writing. Telling Stories is intended for anyone interested in thinking more about the elements of storytelling in short stories, novels, and memoirs. Martin clearly delineates helpful and practical techniques for demystifying the writing process and provides tools for perfecting the art of the scene, characterization, detail, point of view, language, and revision-in short, the art of writing. His discussion of the craft in his own life draws from experiences, memories, and stories to provide a more personal perspective on the elements of writing. Martin provides encouragement by sharing what he's learned from his journey through frustrations, challenges, and successes. Most important, Telling Stories emphasizes that you are not alone on this journey and that writers must remain focused on what they love: the process of moving words on the page. By focusing on that purpose, Martin contends, the journey will always take you where you're meant to go.

This entertaining and highly readable book gives anyone writing in the sciences a clear and easy-to-follow guide to the English language. English is often regarded as one of the most difficult languages to master. Yet while the English language has a vocabulary of upwards of 500,000 words, it only uses nine parts of speech, and all of these words fall into one (or more) of those nine categories. Scientific English: A Guide for Scientists and Other Professionals, Third Edition contains many simple revelations like this that make effective scientific writing in English easy, even for those whose fluency is in another language. The book is organized around a basic guide to English grammar that is specifically tailored to the needs of scientists, science writers, science educators, and science students. The authors explain the goals of scientific writing, the role of style, and the various kinds of writing in the sciences, then provide a basic guide to the fundamentals of English and address problem areas such as redundancies, abbreviations and acronyms, jargon, and foreign terms. Email, online publishing, blogs, and writing for the Web are covered as well. This book is designed to be an enlightening and entertaining read that can then be retained as a practical scientific writing reference guide. Includes cartoons and humorous illustrations that help reinforce important concepts Provides a glossary that allows readers to easily reference the meanings of grammatical terms used in the book Incorporates a wide variety of quotations to provide humor, make points, or reinforce key concepts Includes an entire chapter on electronic media as well as new material on self-editing

The ability to communicate in print and person is essential to the life of a successful scientist. But since writing is often secondary in scientific education and teaching, there remains a significant need for guides that teach scientists how best to convey their research to general and professional audiences. "The Craft of Scientific Communication "will teach science students and scientists alike how to improve the clarity, cogency, and communicative power of their words and images.

In this remarkable guide, Joseph E. Harmon and Alan G. Gross have combined their many years of experience in the art of science writing to analyze published examples of how the best scientists communicate. Organized topically with information on the structural elements and the style of scientific communications, each chapter draws on models of past successes and failures to show students and practitioners how best to negotiate the world of print, online publication, and oral presentation.

After centuries of barely visible incremental development, postgraduate education has experienced twenty years of considerable turbulence as governments recognise its latent power, some responding more quickly than others and each in different ways. This anthology, drawing on research, deep reflection and praxis, illustrates the current situation in a range of geographical environments that result from such interventions, or lack of them, providing readers both with information about neglected contexts, challenges and concerns and with stimulating ideas about how they might be managed more effectively. Professor Emerita Pam Denicolo, University of Reading, UK.

Thoroughly updated to discuss the use of tools such as Skype and social media, this concise volume shows how effective communication-via written text and spoken presentations-can positively impact project management in professional environments. Professional communications are the "information product" of all organizations and businesses. Based on that premise, this book offers communications strategies that will benefit any organization that disseminates technical information in-house and/or to customers. The popular work provides easy-to-understand and apply guidelines for designing and writing effective technical documents, as well as other related communications. What makes this new edition especially valuable is that it maintains the quality of information that distinguished the previous editions, but is now updated to encompass current technology and trends, including today's prevalent communication tools such as social media. The book begins by looking at skills common to all technical writing and offering general advice on designing and writing reports. Next is a discussion of specific types of reports along with common problems and issues writers face. Finally, the work overviews other forms of communications such as professional presentations. The updated material also considers the growing importance of interviews and focus groups as information-gathering tools, the influence of visual rhetoric, and the use of technologies such as Skype and webinars. Maintains the quality of information that has made this text a longtime favorite while featuring significant updates to encompass current technology Provides readers with clear guidelines for designing and writing a wide range of professional documents and associated communications Offers effective strategies for solving communications problems Includes primary source documents that illustrate the advice given

Selbst die besten Informationen sind wertlos, wenn Benutzer sie nicht finden. Eine benutzerfreundliche Struktur und Navigation zu schaffen, ist mindestens ebenso wichtig, wie gut geschriebene Inhalte. Allerdings ist die Strukturierung einer Technischen Dokumentation nicht so einfach, wie es auf den ersten Blick erscheint: Wenn Sie denken, dass die Struktur Ihres Dokuments der Struktur der Komponenten und Funktionen Ihres Produkts folgen sollte, liegen Sie falsch. Wenn Sie denken, dass die Dokumentform, die Sie selbst bevorzugen, auch das ist, was Ihre Kunden bevorzugen, liegen Sie falsch. Wenn Sie denken, dass alle Ihre Informationen wichtig sind, liegen Sie auch falsch. Dieses Buch zeigt Ihnen, wie Sie Ihre Dokumente so strukturieren, indexieren und verlinken, dass Leser die enthaltenen Informationen auch tats chlich finden. Das Buch ist zweisprachig: Englisch + Deutsch. Alle global relevanten Themen werden in englischer Sprache behandelt.

Ist es sinnvoll, Social Features" zur Beteiligung und Vernetzung der Benutzer vorzusehen? Dokumente planen: Sollten Sie alle Informationen in ein einziges Dokument aufnehmen oder lieber mehrere Handb cher f r unterschiedliche Anwendungszwecke und Benutzergruppen erstellen? Wie sollten Sie Ihre Dokumente nennen? Hauptabschnitte innerhalb der Dokumente planen: Aus welchen Hauptabschnitten sollte Ihr Dokument bestehen? Gibt es bestimmte Standardabschnitte, die Sie nicht vergessen d rfen? Einzelthemen planen: Welche Informationstypen ben tigt Ihre Zielgruppe?
