Laura J. Gurak is professor and founding chair of the Department of Writing Studies at the University of Minnesota. She holds an M.S. in technical communication and a Ph.D. in communication and rhetoric from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She is author of two books from Yale University Press (1997, 2001), the earlier of which was the first book-length work to study online communities and Internet-based social actions. Gurak is also co-editor of several edited collections and author on numerous conference presentations and papers; she is a recipient of the Society for Technical Communication??s Outstanding Article award. Gurak has authored and coauthored five textbooks in technical communication published by Pearson. She has worked as a technical writer and communications consultant for various companies and organizations.
Technical Communication has been a market-leading textbook through three editions while continuing to be the only text in technical and professional communication studies to feature a four-colour, visually-appealing design. Technical Communication is the only text to offer MLA, APA, and now IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) documentation. This popular text presents content clearly to students for whom this is likely the only composition or communications course to which they are going to be exposed, and includes all of the comprehensive material required by students who do not have strong writing backgrounds. With new content, structural changes, and a new Content + solution, the fourth edition of Technical Communication will continue to be a valuable communications tool for students.
