Learn to Write Badly: How to Succeed in the Social Sciences
Billig, Michael (Loughborough University)
An entertaining but scholarly book examining why today's social scientists are writing so poorly. Michael Billig analyses the competitive conditions under which academics are mass producing research and identifies the linguistic characteristics of bad writing in the social sciences, arguing that these two factors are closely related.
