One of the greatest finds I made, years ago, was come across engineering books
written prior to WWII. They don't assume "anything" and while it takes longer
to get through a point, once there, education has been accomplished.

Absolutely Mel. One of the skills is getting engineers to put themselves
in the shoes of users and put aside much of the technical detail they
know so intimately and tell a story without assuming the reader is an
equal expert in the subject matter. In the software industry, it can be
quite hard finding people who are both good designers and communicators.
