Abstract

The field of technical and professional communication (TPC) has a deep and evolving history, and the editors of Keywords in Technical and Professional Communication, Han Yu and Jonathan Buehl, have added to not only the history of the TPC field but also the Keyword essay genre with this edited collection. In this collection, the editors aim to document the evolving complexity of TPC terminology while also serving as a resource for newcomers unfamiliar with key terms. Instead of a traditional bibliography or anthology, it presents this information through a collection of keyword essays.
