    Brief Description

    • Technical Communication is the premier resource for introductory technical communication, combining practical applications and clear writing with attention to the latest developments in the field.

     

    Ten editions ago, John Lannon’s Technical Communication changed the study of technical communication, and in a new edition, the book reinvents the study of today’s communication.  Addressing a wide range of interests for students from a variety of majors, the Eleventh Edition of Technical Communication has been updated and streamlined throughout and includes a variety of new Checklists and Guidelines, as well as a unique chapter focused on usability. 

     

    Rhetorical principles are explained, illustrated, and applied to an array of documents, from brief memos and summaries to formal reports and proposals. The emphasis on current topics like technology, global communication, working in teams, and usability underscores the realities of technical communication today. Exercises incorporated throughout the text enable students to better understand the skills necessary both in college and in the workplace.

    • Technical Communication Today remains the only text to fully centralize the computer in the technical workplace, presenting how it is used throughout today’s communication process. 

     

    The text is based on a solid core of rhetorical principles.  Clear instruction not only describes technical documents, but it guides the user through the activity of producing them. Technical Communication Today foregrounds computers as a thinking tool–helping communicators to draft and design documents, prepare material for print and Web publication, and make oral presentations. It more accurately reflects the modern day computer-centered technical workplace.

     

    Technical Communication Today epitomizes the shift in technical communication from literal-linear created to visual-spatial created documents. This evolution, which has been provoked by the ubiquity of the computer as a communication tool, is changing fundamental writing and reading processes.  The text has been designed using the idea of “chunking,” where readable portions of text are combined with graphics. Not only does this concept facilitate learning, but it models the way today’s technical documents should be designed.  Its presentation of teaching readers how to write integrates a new awareness of how documents are read–by “raiding” for the information needed.  The author wrote the text with the presumption that users are researching, organizing, drafting, designing, and revising directly on their computer screens. By mirroring these processes in its content and structure, Technical Communication Today offers a higher level of accessibility for readers.

    • Technical Communication in the Twenty-First Century (TCTC) will prepare students to be successful writers and readers of technical communication, regardless of their career path. This text features a wealth of interesting examples, applications, and cases that engage the student and demonstrate both effective and flawed communication. An emphasis is placed on analyzing why something worked or did not work as well as on how to produce the appropriate communication.  TCTC’s problem-solving approach asks students to think rhetorically about writing situations through detailed explanations and specific examples. The Problem-Solving Approach (PSA) provides students with a useful heuristic to guide them through the process of analyzing a variety of communication situations and solving workplace communication problems.

    • Formerly, Technical Writing, 5th edition, the new 6th edition embraces the multidimensional aspects of a technical communicator.  By incorporating a process approach to writing many different technical documents (email, web pages, blogs) coupled with scenarios to bring to life real-world challenges, the text allows students to write successfully.  Updated technology tips include the most up-to-date software applications (Microsoft Word 2007 and Vista 2007).   The authors' student-friendly style engages students in the writing process and encourages hands-on application as well as discussions about ethics, audience identification, electronic communication, and the role of technical writing in the workplace.
