Scientific Writing = Thinking in Words

“The strength of this book is in its simple, clear and concise use of the English language, which sets the example for those learning from reading it to follow.” – Graham R. Fulton * Pacific Conservation Biology 27(1) *“As an early-career researcher, I have often felt daunted with the task of writing up a scientific paper, reading this book has given me more confidence in my writing. I will certainly be using this book as a guide to follow for future articles I write. I wish I had read it sooner.” – Laetitia Guntoni * AMSA Bulletin #207 *
