Title: The title should be "The Technology of Scientific Documents"
Review: This book is 600 pages long and focuses on the technology of producing documents. For example it has a Chapter entitled "Writing Techniques" but it is all about the technology of word processors (even a subhead on "mouse techniques"); within that chapter the section on Text is about fonts, not words. I found it extraordinary that a book entitled "The Art of Scientific Writing" did not have a single chapter about actual writing--using words and language to communicate ideas. There is certainly useful information here--for example, very few books in the genre discuss how to deal with writing and publishing a book. But if you are looking for help in learning how to write papers and communicate your ideas and your work powerfully, I would not recommend this book. Its title misrepresents its content.
