Book reviews: Writing in nonacademic settings

A few years ago I attended the Technical Writing Institute at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (that´s TWIRP, unfortunately) which runs concurrently with the Technical Writing Institute for Teachers (TWIT, to double the ignominy). Although the Institutes share a foyer and a few major speakers, they have different directors (one of whom is Lee Odell, co-editor of the anthology above), and for the most part their respective attendees participate in separate sessions. When the coffee break is over, it´s TWITs to the left, TWIRPs to the right.
