Summary:

"Assembling Critical Components examines the necessity for technical and professional communication to consider the identity of the field rather than its definition. In shifting to an assembled identity made of component parts, the book illustrates that at any given time or in different contexts a different component can be used to argue for or to produce technical and professional communication. Each chapter, then, examines a specific component of the field's identity to illustrate a range of knowledges and practices that comprise important components of the field"-- Provided by publisher.
