medical consultation. Although English/Zulu and the Zulu medical
culture are used as the examples, the underlying themes are
applicable to any culture. The book has retained the humour and wit
of its predecessor, Learning Language and Culture in the Medical
Consultation, but it has been considerable revised and expanded to
include more material on the cross-cultural consultation, the Aids
pandemic, as well as appendices of vocabulary and 'survival
phrases' designed to facilitate communication and understanding in
a medical context.

Why another book on this topic? The author's experience editing
leading journals in psychology suggests that publication manuals
and books on writing about experimentation in psychology do not
adequately address grammatical usage and style. Much of the advice
published for scientific writers reads as if it had been written
either by English teachers for writers who do not publish in
scientific fields, or by scientific writers who think that the
information already available in countless handbooks on grammar and
style for student writers in English classes is enough.
Unfortunately, such traditional handbooks do not offer the
particular sorts of commentary that scientific writers need.
This book offers specific advice on a host of issues ranging from
the appropriate use of abbreviations to wordiness -- and how to
avoid it. Dr. Bellquist's expertise in both the English language
and the language of scientific writing ideally positions him to
offer guidelines on the use of the passive, the best wording for
statistical presentations, and just how to describe experimental
procedures, among many other topics. Complete with examples and
principles to guide writing decisions, this book will assist both
students and seasoned professionals in presenting their work
clearly for maximum impact. This book is intended as a guide to
grammar and usage for writers in scientific fields -- particularly
in experimental psychology and all fields related to experimental
psychology. Features of the book include:
* alphabetical entries and numerous cross references on grammar,
usage, and style;
* numerous examples taken from scientific papers or based on
actual cases;
* discussions of semantic problems of grammar such as
modification, predication, and statement;
* and discussions of usage specific to experimental psychology,
statistics, and related fields.
This is a book for the Single Market Economy (SEM) and for the real
estate professionals operating within it. With the rapidly
increasing harmonization within Europe there is a need for the
development of expertise in the handling of different national
systems and the non-tariff barriers they present. This guide is
designed to help professionals to develop this expertise. It offers
more than a dictionary of specialist and technical terminology;
there is a supplementary section giving longer translations of
particularly tricky terms where more detailed information is
needed. There are also sections on the real estate and planning
systems in the different European countries, government and
planning hierarchies and real estate associations throughout
Europe. None of these are intended to be definitive guides, but
simply highlight the key questions the real estate professional
needs to be aware of and goes on to provide sources for further
reading.
