Make It Clear: Speak and Write to Persuade and Inform by Patrick Henry Winston

Writing advice for engineers, so don't look for thrilling prose. This is a "just the facts" book that delivers on the promise of the title. In fact, one of the main themes of the book is to promise something and deliver on it.

I'll be using this framework for the next several things I write. It already makes me want to go back and re-do some presentations that just didn't quite work.
