Chambers Dictionary of Science and Technology
Synopsis
Covering a diverse range of subjects including astronomy,
behaviour, civil engineering, mineral extraction, textiles and zoology, this
updated dictionary has over 50,000 entries, and 100 new panel entries to
present topics in more detail.
Synopsis
This dictionary is a comprehensive reference work on all
aspects of the study of animals. Fully revised for this edition, with over 5000
entries, it provides wide coverage of topics including animal behaviour,
ecology, physiology, genetics, cytology, evolution, and Earth history. There is
taxonomic coverage of arthropods, other invertebrates, fish, reptiles,
amphibians, birds, and mammals. The text has been revised to incorporate the
discovery of 'extremophiles' - organisms living in environments formerly
considered impossibly hostile - and the toxonomic reclassification that this
has entailed.
Medical Writing: A Prescription for Clarity
Synopsis
Providing the practical information necessary to turn a
complex series of results and ideas into clear, simple, unambiguous text,
without loss of style or individuality, this text guides readers on issues such
as clarity of data presentation in graph form. Each chapter includes coverage
of the latest writing trends and jargon. Many examples of the good and the bad
in medical writing, drawn from published work, are used alongside apt cartoons
to illustrate the argument.
Synopsis
None provided.
Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors
Synopsis
This is a detailed manual recommending both general and
scientific publication style and formats for journals, books and other forms of
publication. It covers all sciences, not just biology and the medical sciences,
and both American and British preferences are recognized. Every author of a
scientific paper or book should profit from this valuable resource. Editors and
publishers engaged in the sciences, students in the sciences, and translators
of scientific papers destined for English-language publication will also find
this manual an invaluable resource.
Units, Symbols and Abbreviations
Synopsis
This is a useful reference source for medical and scientific
editors and authors. It describes and defines the SI units that are in current
use or have recently been instituted, gives guidelines on commonly used symbols
and nomenclature, offers recommendations for the layout of references, and
gives an abbreviated version of the British Standard Institution's list of
symbols for proof corrections. The book has been completely revised and updated
to take account of changes that have taken place over the last six years. (NB,
published 1994)
Writing Successfully in Science
'Everyone starting a thesis should read this book. I have
found this book really useful, not only because it explains how to write,
revise, and submit a journal article but also because it explains how to deal
with corrections, rejections of journal submissions; how to prepare a small
talk; how to review articles; and specially ... how to write a thesis!'
