Dear Richard,

I'd be most grateful if you'd respond briefly to the questions below,  
and
also forward my query to colleagues.  Are you still on any History of
Science listservs?


Query RE Academic Writing

For a book tentatively titled 'Academic Style' (an oxymoron?!) I am  
seeking
comments and recommendations from colleagues across the  
disciplines.   How
do you define 'stylish' academic writing?  Who are some of the most  
stylish
writers in your field?  What makes their work a pleasure to read?

Please forward this message to academic colleagues and listservs, and  
email
your own response off-list to Dr Helen Sword  
(h.sword at auckland.ac.nz).  All
replies will remain completely confidential.

Thank you for your help, and apologies for cross-posting!
