Examining books on different topics as these appeared during the
Renaissance allows us to see developments in the use of graphics,
the shift from orality to textuality, the expansion of knowledge,
and rise of literacy, particularly among middle-class women
readers, who were an important audience for many of these books.
Changes in English Renaissance technical books provide a new, and
as yet largely unexplored means of viewing the Renaissance and the
dramatic changes that emerged during the 1475-1640 period, the
first years of English printing.
Help your students improve their science understanding and
communicate their knowledge more effectively. Writing Science Right
shows you the best ways to teach content-area writing so that
students can share their learning and discoveries through informal
and formal writing assignments and oral presentations. You'll teach
students how to... identify their audience and an appropriate
organizational structure for their writing; achieve a readable
style by knowing the reader's background knowledge; build effective
sentences and concise paragraphs; prepare and deliver oral
presentations that bring content to life; use major science
articles, abstracts, and summaries as mentor texts; and more!
Throughout the book, you'll find a wide variety of sample articles
and suggested assignments that you can use immediately. In
addition, a list of additional teaching texts and resources is
available on the Routledge website at
www.routledge.com/9781138302679.

Changes in English Renaissance technical books provide a new, and
as yet largely unexplored means of viewing the Renaissance and the
dramatic changes that emerged during the 1475-1640 period, the
first years of English printing.
The Flowering of a Tradition, which describes the development of
technical, or practical, writing in England during the seventeenth
century, from 1641 to 1700, follows Emergence of a Tradition, which
tracks the emergence of English technical writing from 1475 to
1640, during the English Renaissance. Together, the books present
the emergence and development of technical writing in England from
1475 to 1700 by describing and exemplifying the main
characteristics and genres of technical writing as they appeared
and flowered. Topics include format and page design; recognition of
readers' needs in content and presentation; plain style; technical
description; technical writing's contribution to the development of
the paragraph; text and the use of technology in technical writing;
the history of instructions; and the emergence and development of
proposals and reports. The two books cover the major topics that
continue to form the foundation of the teaching and practice of
technical writing and help define the history of practical
discourse during approximately 300 years of English history. The
history of technical, or practical, writing has not yet been
written, and these two books fill a major deficiency in the history
of English technical writing. Chapters on the history of the
proposal and the history of reports deal with topics never before
researched. The chapter on the history of the paragraph shows that
paragraphs existed 300 years before composition historians have
stated, because technical writing has not been included in studies
of the history of English discourse. Even though the majority of
English writing is practical writing in any era, it continues to be
ignored by social and literary historians. Only book-length studies
of the type published here will fill this void. Technical writing
will not become a discipline unless we have a series of books
providing a clear foundation that unearths its existence and shows
its contribution to all of our writing today, in the workplace and
other nonacademic settings.
