Reviews
L'ouvrage mrite d'tre lu si vous souhaitez amliorer vos papiers de travail quelle que soit votre discipline de recherche. J'ai particulirement aim le chapitre sur les "clutters" permettant d'allger les papiers, le chapitre sur l'criture dans le domaine des sciences et des technologies permettant de connatre la logique suivre et les derniers chapitres sur la qualit et savoir quand arrter.Si l'anglais est votre bte noire, si vous hsitez sur l'usage des mots, sur l'enchanement des ides, il s'agit de l'ouvrage lire avant d'aller vers d'autres ouvrages plus longs. Les ouvrages plus longs existent pour la grammaire, l'orthographe, la construction de phrases et paragraphes. Mais celui-ci permet une vision globale et rapide. Il se lit d'une traite ou par lecture ponctuelle de ses petits chapitres.
