The authors provide a descriptive theory that maps the territory of technical communication. This theory gives teachers a framework for organizing courses on technical communication. It gives technical writers, editors, & artists a means of relating one project to the next; students a way of connecting unfamiliar material (what they are learning about technical communication) to familiar material (what they already know about other kinds of writing). Finally the theory offers empirical researchers a source of hypotheses to be tested in the field. The ultimate aim of the book is to enable communicators at once to comprehend & to question their common sense, trial-&-error practice, & conventional methods. Through this process, technical writers can improve their chances of effectively adapting their work to the shifting demands of the workstation & marketplace of advanced technological society.Killingsworth, M.
