About the Book

This is designed to be a seminal textbook for researchers and teachers of scientific and technical communication.

These include insights into the relevance of cognitive psychology for technical communication; ethics and multicultural issues; impact of new technologies; visual communication; design of teaching and research programmes; and quality and evaluation.
