Synopsis

Writing for Science, now in its third edition, is a practical handbook designed for science, engineering and technology students. It presents material in a direct, easily accessible format that has been developed through dealing with many hundreds of students at all undergraduate and postgraduate levels, together with professional engineers and scientists in Europe and Australasia. 

Writing for Science 3rd edition

• Extensively restructures and develops the successful earlier editions of the text by including:
  – expanded, newly developed material on report writing
  – updated information on referencing
  – a new chapter on oral presentations as a guide for students needing to present complex scientific and technological material at a seminar or conference.
• Gives the basic requirements for writing scientific and technical reports and essays.
• Provides examples, with explanatory notes, of the various types of technical and scientific reports.
• Describes and provides solutions for common style problems, in a direct and easily understood way.
• Covers the writing of documents required to get a job, together with samples of the various types of accompanying letters.

Review of the first edition

‘… the only essential course preparation. While aimed at writing refuseniks, know-it-alls from across the great divide should take a peek. … The chapter on style problems is a real eye-opener. Buy a copy and the journals who later publish your research will thank their lucky stars.’  New Scientist, 1 March 1997.
