This is the third edition of a book that discusses style but is mostly about communication. Effective communication is the ultimate, but often daunting, purpose of any piece of medical research. This very helpful book provides practical information enabling first drafts to be turned into concise unambiguous text, without loss of individuality. Written by a consultant anaesthetist and an experienced medical editor, it is sympathetic to the problems and needs of medical writers. Like the preceding two editions, this expanded third edition deals with the basic craft of writing for publication, from spelling and grammar to choosing the best word or phrase.

Whether you are writing a simple clinical report or thesis, want to supervise others or just want to develop greater skill in effective writing, this book is the ideal guide and reference. Clear, simple and precise, and illustrated with apt cartoons, this is an invaluable handbook.
