Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This book is a guide to technical writing, presented in a systematic framework that mirrors the logic associated with the scientific process itself. Other English books merely define concepts and provide rules; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this one explains the reasoning behind the rules."-- |
