Solving Problems in Technical Communication cover

The field of technical communication is rapidly expanding in both the academic world and the private sector, yet a problematic divide remains between theory and practice. Here Johndan Johnson-Eilola and Stuart A. Selber, both respected scholars and teachers of technical communication, effectively bridge that gap. "Solving Problems in Technical Communication" collects the latest research and theory in the field and applies it to real-world problems faced by practitioners - problems involving ethics, intercultural communication, new media, and other areas that determine the boundaries of the discipline. The book is structured in four parts, offering an overview of the field, situating it historically and culturally, reviewing various theoretical approaches to technical communication, and examining how the field can be advanced by drawing on diverse perspectives. Timely, informed, and practical, "Solving Problems in Technical Communication" will be an essential tool for undergraduates and graduate students as they begin the transition from classroom to career.

"Solving Problems in Technical Communication is excellent, sound, and credible. Every chapter is engaging, easy to follow, and accurate, which doesn't surprise me given the editors and contributors - all are distinguished leaders with long vitas chronicling the major conversations in the field." (Tracy Bridgeford, University of Nebraska at Omaha)"
