Extremely useful, and you don't have to actually be a medical writer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
It gets off to a good start, albeit a somewhat wordy one, about the value of clear thinking and clear writing. This is followed by lists of misspelled words, misused words, unnecessary words, imprecise words... Get the idea? Since I don't suffer from any of these symptoms, an overlong list of treatments had the unintended effect of curing my insomnia. I apologize to the authors, whose effort is to be commended, but I don't recommend reading this cover-to-cover any more than I would recommend reading an encyclopedia or dictionary that way. Dip in as needed to save yourself hours of Googling, perhaps. I will, however, use what they had to say about Watson and Crick, who wrote about their Nobel-winning research on the nature of DNA with stunning simplicity and clarity.
