Unlike many other books on technical writing, The Technical Writer's Handbook is written by a practising scientist who screens hundreds of manuscripts each year.

The second part is written in dictionary format and contains entries on grammar, style, and organization, as well as entries on topics such as common errors, resume writing, metric units, jargon, conference prodeedings, figures, tables and slides.
A comprehensive list of cross references reveals related topics quickly and easily.
