Technical communicators prepare instruction manuals, how-to guides, journal articles, and supporting documents to communicate complex and technical information more easily. Skills emphasized in technical writing are clarity, accuracy, and the ability to make complex materials easier to follow, usually step-by-step. The result of technical writing and communicating is to solve problems, achieve measurable results, and make it possible for the reader to follow the instructions. Technical writing varies from writing instructions on how to assemble a device or make it work and know how to shut off and put on the power to making instructions user-friendly by making the complex easier to understand. Technical writers/technical communicators also develop, gather, and disseminate technical information through an organization's communications channels. And technical writers may design, create, and present public relations and promotional materials, advertising copy or infomercials. A corporate communications director works with technical writers and illustrators to promote and present corporate publications or video. And a digital communications specialist writes promotional materials for corporations about corporations and researches/presents writing and images about a corporation's achievements or news digitally also to social media. Liberal Arts colleges and universities produce more English majors with B.A.'s and M.A.'s each semester than any other humanities major graduating with highest grades, and in some schools of Education and liberal arts, many of these graduates include students seeking alternative careers to teaching or editing fiction, plays, and entertainment scripts.Some graduates wish to have careers in journalism, public relations, marketing, and advertising in the creative end, perhaps as creative directors working with artists with similar career plans. With the increasing evolution of technology, more jobs are opening for those interested in technical, medical, health/nutrition, science, and marketing writing for technical and/or scientific firms.

The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilisation is a precious good, whose delicate complex of order and freedom, culture and peace can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within. ~Will Durant, American historian Invaders and Infidels: From Sindh to Delhi: The 500-Year Journey of Islamic Invasions is a work of gripping history, which tells the story of the origins and trajectory of Islamic invasions into India. It begins with the first Muslim conquest and ends with Babur's invasion of Hindustan, spanning the period of the Delhi Sultanate which was in power for almost 320 years. This epochal story encompasses a vast sweep of events, which changed the history of India forever, and introduced it to an alien faith and a religious despotism such as the country had never experienced before. It comprises major and minor sagas of great heroism, untold savagery, stout resistance, brutal intrigues and epic tragedies. Embedded in this narrative are two major themes, largely overlooked in the inherited Indian historical and cultural memory. For more than three hundred years, alien Muslim invasions into India were largely fleeting, transitory and unstable. However, the lasting legacy of these Muslim invasions is the permanent destruction and disappearance of Classical India. Invaders and Infidels will fascinate anyone interested in the story of pre-Medieval India, a gateway era in the history of this ancient culture and civilisation.
