Academic Writing for Military Personnel is a short, focused, useful book... a welcome addition to the reference library of anyone in uniform.--Canadian Air Force Journal ""http: //airforceapp.forces.gc.ca/cfawc/eLibrary/Journal/Vol4-2011/Iss2-Spring/Books/Academic_Writing_for_Military_Personnel_e.pdf"" In my former profession as an academic I read many books on academic writing over the years. This one ranks among the best.--MGen (ret'd) Herb Petras ""Adam Chapnick"" More than a prescriptive style-guide, the not-so-hidden message in this book is that how you choose to communicate, impacts what you communicate. So like in our planning, choose deliberately and wisely.--LGen Lgén F.J. Allen, CMM, CD, Vice Chief of the Defence Staff, Vice chef d'état-major de la défense ""Adam Chapnick"" The second edition of this book release is timely in today's modern era where understanding how to clearly communicate facts and evidence is critical. Dr. Chapnick and Dr. Stone bring the reader on a journey from start to finish, unpacking the multiple layers that contribute to good academic writing. Starting from the initial research process, through to the development of a thesis, and concluding with a lesson on how to source other academics. Within this, the authors highlight an important writing concept that is directly transferrable to many forms of written communication - know your audience. Identifying and understanding the target audience directly informs how information is delivered, and whether the message will resonate as intended. The authors demonstrate how to do this firsthand throughout the book by providing clear and concise guidance that can be easily leveraged by military personnel as they communicate with military and civilian audiences, both within and outside The Defence Team. --Major-General Major-Général (Lise) Bourgon, CMM, MSC, CD D/Comd CMP CAF WPS champion ""Adam Chapnick""
