This acclaimed book is a master teacher's tested program for turning clumsy prose into clear, powerful, and effective writing. A logical, expert, easy-to-use plan for achieving excellence in expression, "Style" offers neither simplistic rules nor endless lists of dos and don'ts. Rather, Joseph Williams explains how to be concise, how to be focused, how to be organized. Filled with realistic examples of good, bad, and better writing, and step-by-step strategies for crafting a sentence or organizing a paragraph, "Style" does much more than teach mechanics: it helps anyone who must write clearly and persuasively transform even the roughest of drafts into a polished work of clarity, coherence, impact, and personality.

评分Although I do not entirely agree with him, a lot pieces of advice are worth rereading
评分与Style: Towards Clarity and Grace 以及 The Craft of Researc三本是Joseph M. Williams关于英文写作方面的著作。对我来说,与其说这些书是写作良方,还不如说是如何更好通过书面与他人沟通的捷径。
