Second, this book uses examples from actual documents to show the differences between strong scientific writing and weak scientific writing. Finally, this book discusses the style of scientific writing by going beyond the surface question of how things are written to the deeper question of why things are written as they are. In essence, what this book does is make you a critical reader of scientific writing so that you can craft a style for your writing situations. I wish that I could tell you that this book will make your scientific writing easy. Unfortunately, that's not the way scientific writing is.
Scientific writing is hard work.
The best scientific writers struggle with every paragraph, every sentence, every phrase. They must write, then rewrite, then rewrite again. Scientific writing is a craft, a craft you continually hone. All materials at this web page are property of Springer-Verlag.
