상세정보

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

Fur die meisten Wissenschaftler heißt es: "Schreib' oder stirb!", aber nur die wenigsten wurden sich deshalb als passionierte oder gar brilliante Schreibkunstler bezeichnen. Um all jenen zur Hilfe zu kommen, die beim Abfassen wissenschaftlicher Texte auch auf den Schreibstil achten mochten, haben sich drei erfahrene Vielschreiber zusammengetan und diesen einzigartigen Leitfaden uber das Verfassen wissenschaftlicher Texte erstellt.
Das Schwergewicht liegt dabei auf der richtigen Schreibtechnik, der Verwendung formaler Standards und vor allem einer klaren und unmissverstandlichen Darstellung wissenschaftlicher Sachverhalte.

Diese lang erwartete neue Auflage eines Klassikers wurde von den Autoren vollstandig uberarbeitet, um den zum Teil dramatischen Veranderungen in der Form wissenschaftlicher Kommunikation des letzten Jahrzehnts gerecht zu werden. Durch seinen umfangreichen Anhang und ausfuhrlichen Index ist dieses Buch daruber hinaus ein unverzichtbares Nachschlagewerk, das jeder Verfasser wissenschaftlicher Texte, egal ob angehender Student oder etablierter Wissenschaftler, immer zur Hand haben sollte.

"Ein Schatz an Informationen in einem einzigen Buch von handhabbarem Ausmaßen. Studenten, die ein Experiment protokollieren, sowie Ihre Lehrer, die eine Veroffentlichung oder Vorlesung vorbereiten, werden in diesem Buch einen standigen Begleiter finden."
