Introduction 1 Introduction to the Book-Review Commentaries on Managing Your Documentation Projects T. R. Girill *JCD Editor in chief Our first review is by Anthony Benedictis, who is a second-year student in the Master of Technical and Scientific Communication program at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. He received his undergraduate degree from Cleveland State University in 1987 and spent eight years working as a writer before entering graduate school. He returned to school to gain an academic insight into technical.writing practices familiar from the business world. Hence, his approach to this review reflects this empirical background and educational stance. Also reviewing the Hacktos text is C. Gilbert Storms, who is an Associate Professor in the English Department at Ohio's Miami University. Storms views this book from the perspective of the professional literature, as a response to a long-standing but often.neglected plea to find a place for project management (along with rhetorical sophistication) in the training of future documentation specialists. He also articulates the many subde ways in which the suggestions of Hackos (e.g., for maintaining standards and managing change) fit into the more general commercial trends popularized as "total quality management" or "continuous improvement." T his issue's commentaries are dual analytic reviews that explore the 629-page professional text ManagingYourDocumentation Projectsby JoAnn T. Hackos (John Wiley, 1994).
