'The book under review is indeed a guide, and a practical one too,
but it is not only for engineers and physical scientists - it is
useful to all those who communicate technical information or need
to and want to do the job well. The book achieves the objectives:
every PhD student may not want to read the book, but should - and
will not regret it.'European Science EditingRead this book before
you write your thesis or journal paper! Communicating Science is a
textbook and reference on scientific writing oriented primarily at
researchers in the physical sciences and engineering. It is written
from the perspective of an experienced researcher. It draws on the
authors' experience of teaching and working with both native
English speakers and English as a Second Language (ESL) writers.
For the range of topics covered, this book is relatively short and
tersely written, in order to appeal to busy
researchers.Communicating Science offers comprehensive guidance on:
Graduate students and early career researchers will be guided
through the researcher's basic communication tasks: writing theses,
journal papers, and internal reports, presenting lectures and
posters, and preparing research proposals. Extensive best practice
examples and analyses of common problems are presented. Advanced
researchers who aim to commercialize their research results will be
introduced to business plans and patents, so that they can
communicate optimally with patent attorneys and business analysts.
Likewise, advanced researchers will be assisted in conveying the
results of their research to the industrial and business community,
governmental circles, and the general public in the chapter on
popular media. Researchers at all levels will find the chapter on
CV's and job hunting helpful. The Writing Well chapter will assist
researchers to improve their English usage in scientific writing.
This chapter is oriented both at native English speakers, who have
an intuitive command of English but often lack formal instruction
on grammar and structure, and non-native English writers, who often
have had formal instruction but lack intuitive grasp of what sounds
good.Mentors will find the book a useful tool for systematically
guiding their students in their early writing efforts. If your
students read this book first, you will save time! Communicating
Science may serve as a textbook for graduate level courses in
scientific writing.
