Areas of Interest and Activity (a bibliography)
Technical writers routinely have to rewrite and restructure the documents
on which they work (and not just act as typists or translators).
Of course, they can only do this in subjects that they understand.
This means that technical writers must understand as wide a spectrum of subjects
as that in which they intend to write.
This understanding does not need to be carried to the point of being able to put it
into engineering practice, of course.
It is only necessary to be aware of the new techniques and terminology,
and to understand fully what they mean when they appear in a document.
This document summarises my own particular range of studies and interests,
by listing the books that I have read,
with an inevitable emphasis on books from the popular science section of the bookshops.
This list is, of course, being continually extended,
along with a thorough reading
of the New Scientist weekly magazine.
(In support of this assertion,
I can cite my Letters to the Editor
that they have chosen to publish over the years,
and the two annotated index pages that I maintain:
A Survey of Quantum Computing Research
and Towards a theory of everything.)

As well as being aware in a large spectrum of subjects,
technical writers (and indeed everyone)
needs to keep abreast of the continual developments in their own subjects.
Complete text books, though, are rarely the means of doing this,
as reflected in a bibliography such as this,
but rather through articles in technical journals.
