Some specific topics examined include navigation design for a medical web site, the hidden costs of cross-cultural documentation, using role sets to engage visitors to safe sex web sites, connecting popular culture and science, and knowledge management in the aerospace industry. The book will be of interest to practitioners in technical and professional communication and to students and academics seeking information on current industry practices in technical communication. The book can also be used with undergraduate and graduate students.
