Hi austechies,
If you would like a copy of one of the following books, and are happy to
write a review for publication in "Words", an e-journal my company
publishes, please give me a shout. A page and a half is usually adequate, as
long as you give the book considered analysis.
To get a feel for the depth of review we're after, take a look at Vian
Lawson's review of Kate Burridge's new book in the latest issue of "Words"
(http://www.abelard.com.au/bulletin.html) or at earlier reviews by Peter
Martin and Nikki Ward (in past issues, but also available from the same
site).
Here are the blurbs from the publisher of the books I have on offer at the
moment:
<http://baywood.com/books/previewbook.asp?id=978-0-89503-378-9> Content
Management: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice
Edited by George Pullman and Baotong Gu
This book begins a conversation about the effects of electronic content
management systems on the profession of technical communications and
advocates the need for more community involvement in the design and
implementation of CMS.
<http://baywood.com/books/previewbook.asp?id=978-0-89503-375-8> Connecting
People with Technology: Issues in Professional Communication
Edited by George F. Hayhoe and Helen M. Grady
This book explores five areas where technology affects society-making
technology usable, meeting the needs of global audiences, disseminating
health and safety information, communicating about biotechnology, and
understanding how technology and global business shape the corporate
environment-and suggests ways in which human communication can facilitate
technology use.
I would need to have the review by September 30 for inclusion in the
November issue of "Words".
Cheers
