Critics Review

This slim volume, by University of Rochester economics professor William Thomson, deserves a place on the bookshelf next to classics such as Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style and Kernighan and Plauger’s The Elements of Programming Style. Like those classics, it is clear and direct, focused and well-written…Thomson’s advice is breathtakingly sensible.
