Great technical writing on technical writing!

You can tell that Markel is truly a student of this craft. He follows his own advise throughout the book using bulleted lists and reitteration to nail home his point. The steps he leads students through are the exact ones he followed to write the book. It really helped to see the author enthused about his subject and practicing it in the reading. Regardless of the edition, great book on this relatively unknow yet in-depth subject!
Interesting and real world scenarios

I teach technical writing at a community college and frequently switched textbooks until I discovered Mike Markel's. It is well organized, gives 8 measures of excellence in technical writing that students quickly grasp, has very up-to-date scenarios that prompt critical reading and writing and the online quizzes and resources are the frosting on the cake. This book is a great tool for educators, students and absolutely anyone who wishes to write in a professional manner.
