Scientific Writing and Communication: Papers, Proposals, and Presentations

I work as a scientific editor and teach social scientific and natural scientific writing to graduate students, post-docs, and professionals who do not speak English as a native language. As per a one-star comment previously posted, I agree, this is NOT an ideal resource for the first-time scientific writer, or for someone looking for more general guidance; it's very high level, and really focused on the natural sciences. However, if you are, for example, a non-native English speaker who is publishing in the natural sciences, or teaching writing to this population, I really think this is the absolute best book on the market. The exercises are very thoughtful, and it covers all parts of the professional-level writing process, with an emphasis on the needs of non-native speakers.

This book is absolutely amazing and is so easy to learn from. Just when reading, I've been able to identify where my writing needed improvement. Their exercises for each chapter are pretty good. They're nothing exciting but they drive in the point. I love it.

Prompt delivery! Very satisfied with the item!

I Need This Book For A Course But I Am Highly Disatisfied Because This Book Smells Like Piss And There Are Highlighter Marks In Book ... I Am Aware This Is A Rental But This Book Needs To Be Thrown Away !

Very structured book with plenty of examples of good and better writing - very clearly thought out and helpful

I wish I'd had this book two decades ago. I use it regularly for my own writing check ups and to help train my mentees!

Great condition

Usefulll, clever , clear...FANTASTIC! if you need Publishing from de Scientific point of View: lend IT , buy IT .... READ IT .

I started to use this book since I begin to read it. I am an Spanish ESL an I've found this book very useful. It teachs you the common errors but, of course, how you should write in science. I think every scientific should have it, from undergraduate student to University Professor.It has lots of examples, very useful tables and exercises with its answers!!!

As a PhD geologist, i find it relevant and well written.

While the information provided in this book is valuable and helpful, the examples, and especially the exercises that are supposed to give the reader the opportunity to apply the disscussed approaches directly are often ripe with mistakes of many sorts and seem to not have been proofread or doublechecked.This might have been addressed in the 3rd edition though.

Excellent book. I would say its a bible for scientific writers.

Everything you need to be a good scientific writer.It covers all aspects of scientific writing a provides good examples.
