| Abstract | Physicists should communicate their knowledge to the general public because, as the American Association for the Advancement of Science puts it, "without a scientifically literate population, the outlook for a better world is not promising." This article discusses what I've learned about writing for non-scientists from working on my physics textbook for non-science college students, as well as from my hometown newspaper column and other writings. Lessons learned include tips for writing effective prose, do's and dont's when writing for non-scientists, choice of subject matter, being relevant to the needs of non-scientists, unifying one's book by using general themes, and the process of organizing and writing a textbook. Many of these lessons should be helpful in all scientific writing regardless of the target audience. (As Provided). |
