Delft<BR></FONT></B><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica">Governments communicate with
the public through all kinds of documents:forms,brochures,letters,policy
papers,and so<BR>on.These public documents have an important role in any
democracy and their design very much affects the efficiency with<BR>which
governments can perform their tasks.<BR>Document designers, linguists and other
communication experts in the Netherlands have been studying public documents
from a design point of view as well as empirically for decades.In this book, the
most prominent of these researchers present the results of their
work,collectively giving an overview of various recurring problems in
government-to-public communication, and providing suggestions for problem
solving.<BR></FONT><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica"><B><FONT
