Stylistic traps in technical English - and solutions

Technical texts translated from German into English often contain awkward wordings, because the original sentences are long, complicated and overly abstract. How can complicated technical matters be expressed adequately in English that is simple, direct and easy to understand?
The author presents a series of recommendations on how to deal with difficult stylistic issues frequently encountered in technical documents. Examples are provided throughout the book; each chapter includes exercises, with suggested solutions at the end of the book.
This book is a stylistic toolbox for writers and translators of technical texts.
