| 520 | . | ‡a"This short, focused guide presents twelve principles based on what readers need in order to understand complex information, including concrete subjects, strong verbs, consistent terms, and organized paragraphs. The author, an experienced teacher of scientific writing, illustrates each principle with real-life examples of both good and bad writing and shows how to revise bad writing to make it better. She ends each chapter with practice exercises so that readers can come away with new writing skills after just one sitting."--Back cover. | |
