Most scientists live in a "publish or perish" environment, but few would describe themselves as brilliant (or enthusiastic) writers. Coming to the aid of all those wishing to improve the quality of their scientific writing — established researchers and aspiring students alike — three experienced authors/scientists from differing backgrounds and cultures have compiled this classic guide.This new edition has been completely revised to reflect dramatic changes in communication over the past 15 years. The primary emphasis is on writing techniques, accurate expression, adherence to accepted standards, and above all clarity, but the authors also venture into communication technology and organizational as well as ethical aspects of science. Numerous appendices and a particularly comprehensive index complete this highly useful book."The authors have a passion, not only for clarity and economy of style, but also for precision and consistency."—Nature"A wealth of information contained in a single book of manageable proportions. Students reporting on a simple laboratory experiment and their teachers preparing a paper or lecture will both find this book a constant companion."—European Science Editing"The book under review claims, 'we know of no book as broad in its coverage, as critical in its analysis of existing trends, and as international in its scope'. This claim is immodest but accurate."—Trends in Pharmacological Sciences

Ein guter Vortrag ist nicht nur eine Sache der pers nlichen Begabung oder Ausstrahlung des Redners. Dahinter steckt mindestens genauso viel harte Arbeit und das n tige Wissen. Dieses Wissen um die beste Vortragstechnik haben die Autoren in unterhaltsamer Form zusammengestellt und sch pfen dabei aus ihrem eigenen reichen Erfahrungsschatz als Redner vor verschiedenstem Publikum. Die dritte Auflage dieses Standardwerks zum wissenschaftlichen Vortragen wurde im Hinblick auf die modernen Bildbearbeitungs- und Projektionstechniken durchgehend aktualisiert und erg nzt. Die perfekte Vorbereitung f r den ersten ffentlichen Vortrag, aber auch "alte Hasen" werden hier noch viel Neues entdecken. "au ergew hnlich lehrreich und doch nicht belehrend; die lockere Art der Darstellung [macht] das Lesen zu einer wahren Freude" (Nahrung / Food) "eine u erst hilfreiche Anleitung zur Bew ltigung technischer Klippen bereits weit im Vorfeld des ffentlichen Ernstfalles" (Physik in unserer Zeit) "beschreibt mit bestechender Gr ndlichkeit und gro em didaktischen Geschick, was bei der Vorbereitung und Durchf hrung eines Vortrags alles falsch gemacht werden kann und daher zu beachten ist" (Arzneimittel-Forschung)

Every student can benefit from extra help with matters of organization and style in the writing of term papers, theses, and dissertations - as a precursor to better grades and greater respect. This handy guide from the best-selling author team of "The Art of Scientific Writing" shows how to achieve maximum benefit with relatively little effort. Based on a proven concept that assumes no special talent for writing, the book will be of great value to both native and non-native speakers of English. The treatment is rich in examples and challenging problems (with solutions provided in an appendix), applicable either in conjunction with a course or for self-study.
