Most scientists live in a 'publish or perish' environment, but few would describe themselves as brilliant (or enthusiastic!) writers. Coming to the aid of all those wishing to improve the quality of their scientific writing, established researchers and aspiring students alike, three experienced authors/scientists from differing backgrounds and cultures have worked together to compile a unique guide to scientific writing.This new edition of a well-established classic has been completely revised, reflecting dramatic changes in communication over the past 15 years. Primary emphasis is on writing techniques, accurate expression, adherence to accepted standards, and above all clarity, but the authors also venture into communication technology and organizational as well as ethical aspects of science. Numerous appendices and an especially comprehensive index complete this highly useful book.
