Throughout the book, she emphasizes flexibility, showing writers that different approaches work for different kinds of data and different types of audiences.The second edition adds a chapter on writing about numbers for lay audiences, explaining how to avoid overwhelming readers with jargon and technical issues. Also new is an appendix comparing the contents and formats of speeches, research posters, and papers, to teach writers how to create all three types of communication without starting each from scratch. An expanded companion website includes new multimedia resources such as slide shows and podcasts that illustrate the concepts and techniques, along with an updated study guide of problem sets and suggested course extensions.This continues to be the only book that brings together all the tasks that go into writing about numbers, integrating advice on finding data, calculatingstatistics, organizing ideas, designing tables and charts, and writing prose all in one volume.
