From the Publisher
A highly readable text on scientific communication - with all its ramifications from writing the most effective text to getting it published. The handbook will also serve as a ready-reference book for every emergency an author may encounter (for example, an important galley correction has been made, a Note Added in Proof must be inserted, a copyright contract must be studied). Finally, the volume is a complete and lucid description of all methods and processes used in writing and printing - to be looked up if an unfamiliar technical term is encountered.
From the Back Cover
Ebel/Bliefert/Russey The Art of Scientific Writing Three scientists from both sides of the Atlantic?authors, teachers, and a publishing editor?have collaborated to make this book possible. The topics covered range from the first notes a student takes in the laboratory to the problems entailed in preparing and editing a book manuscript. Part I provides necessary background and general information about various forms of written communication: reports, theses, journal articles, and books. Part II, together with a set of appendixes, adds detailed information about the materials and tools employed in scientific writing. Complete with numerous examples the book provides a reliable guide for scientists in all fields on matters such as correct use of units and symbols, the formulation of equations, and the preparation of figures and tables. The work is intended not only for those whose native language is English, but also for the broader scientific community. Extensive cross-referencing, a very detailed index, and a handy format combine to make this book a useful tool for the everyday work of authors and those in the publishing business. It is also a welcome source of guidance for science students interested in improving their writing.
