Recensioner i media

From the reviews: "The book would also be useful in informing non-scientists about what scientists do and how they do it. ... every chapter contains some very practical advice as well as a brief more intellectual discussion of the topic. Each chapter contains charts, diagrams, or photographs and reference citations. ... The color photographs are of excellent quality ... . The chapters are mostly self-contained so the book could easily be used as a resource for a seminar for students beginning or about to begin research." (Grady Chism, Journal of Food Science Education, Vol. 11, 2012)
