Writing about Business and Industry brings together timeless essays
and readings that exemplify excellence in writing about the
history, theory, and practice of business. Beverly Schneller,
coeditor of Writing about Science, has gathered the works of an
extraordinary range of talented minds--Adam Smith, Lewis and Clark,
George Orwell, Henry Ford, Beatrice Webb, as well as many
others--to instruct and encourage those seeking to become polished
writers in business, technical, economic, and related fields. These
colorful selections bring specialized composition to life for the
student, showing how different styles work for different fields,
and enlivening the learning process. Students will hone their
writing skills while discovering the Walla Walla River, visiting
Wales, pondering the inherent nature of competition, or examining
the status of women in the workplace. From Max Weber to
contemporary journalism, the historical development of business
thought and practice unfolds for the student. For courses in
business and technical writing, as well as writing for the social
sciences, this engaging collection provides an opportunity to
uncover the often surprising possibilities of technical and
business prose.
