Communicating in Style
If you are a researcher, an academic, a journalist, or a manager—long on technical expertise but short on time—you will find style manuals daunting and tedious. Yet, you may want to give your message that well-groomed look ‘Communicating in style’ shows you how you can do that yourself. This is the claim by TERI, the publisher’s of the book. And once you have finished the book, you will agree with their claim.
The book contains 12 chapters, an annexe, a preface and a foreword. Chapters 1–8 deal with various aspects of style, usage, and grammar including how to create user-friendly, efficient, effective, and distinct communication, working with heading and level heads, formatting and punctuating bulleted and numbered lists, dealing with abbreviations, acronyms, contractions, and symbols, how to use notations for units of measurement, how to create and incorporate charts, diagrams, maps, and photographs into your text, how to present information in rows and columns, citing and formatting information sources, and so on.
