First of all I apologize since writing isn't technically a science...

It seems there are myriad resources out there I can use to learn anything science or math related. My question would be, are there any text's that are to writing what Apostol/Spivak are to calculus? I wish to become a better writer. Also any other resources or advice would be appreciated.
