Critic Reviews

“"Scientific Writing = Thinking in Words appears in its second updated edition to expand the basic principles aboutwriting and scientific research that will help scientists impart the basics oftheir work. Examples of good and bad writing, a expanded chapter fornon-scientists interested in science writing, and a new chapter on tacklinggrant applications add to the powerful focus of a book that will appeal to aresearch community traditionally leery of putting their findings and results inwriting for maximum impact and attention. Whether the reader is preparing ajournal article, advertisement, or for a presentation, or even if they are justscience students producing papers, Scientific Writing = Thinking in Words is apowerful key to success and offers many examples and strategies for moreeffective communications."”

"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
