The concept of employability has provided a foundation for much
current labour market policy. It has also provided a useful
framework for analyzing national and urban labour markets and
related policies in a variety of different circumstances both for
those in and out of work. The papers in this book help progress the
concept of employability, demonstrating the importance of the
geographic and spatial context, and showing its flexibility and
usefulness as a basis for theory, analysis and policy. The papers
are divided into two main sections: understanding the concept of
employability lessons for labour market policy in changing labour
markets. The chapters also provide general insights into many
current labour market policy debates. As employability continues to
be the foundation of many labour market policies, this volume
considers the economic and geographical dimensions of employability
in local labour market analysis and policy. This book was
previously published as a special issue of the journal Urban
Studies.
Bad writing is bad for science. Incomprehensible journal articles,
wordy proposals, and jargon-filled theses make reading a chore for
students, informed lay people, and even other scientists. As a
result, years of research and hard work can be passed over or
misunderstood. The problem is so significant that clear writing has
become a legal requirement for federal agencies, thanks to the
Plain Writing Act of 2010, which requires that writing be
"accessible, consistent, written in plain language, and easy to
understand." "Writing Science in Plain English" by Anne E. Greene,
an experienced teacher of scientific writing, shows how to produce
such clear, concise scientific prose. This is the first book to
adapt the Strunk and White model for scientists and students.
Designed as a short, easy-to-follow guide, it dispenses with what
scientists write and focuses on how to write it well. Eleven
chapters present straightforward principles based on what readers
need in order to understand complex writing, including concrete
subjects, active verbs, consistent terms, and well-organized
paragraphs. Chapter-ending exercises and samples of real writing,
both good and bad, allow readers to improve their writing immensely
with little effort. This concise book is short enough that readers
can gain important information in one sitting, but full of useful
resources that will have them thumbing through it again and again.
It can be used as the foundation for a semester-long course or a
two-hour workshop. Designed to be useful to a wide range of
readers, from college students to faculty, and beginning
researchers to established scientists, it is the perfect resource
for anyone who wants to strengthen their scientific writing.
