Making Sense in the Life Sciences: A Student's Guide to Writing and Research
"Well written, succinct, and appealing to students."     --Kathreen Ruckstuhl, University of Calgary"Making Sense in the Life Sciences focuses considerably on the writing process and the mechanics of writing itself. The assortment of writing tips and 'common pitfalls to avoid' complement the main text and hit upon many of the problems I observe in students' writing. Furthermore, entire chapters devoted to grammar, punctuation, and 'writing with style' are novel elements in a science writing guide and would be a useful resource for such students. Finally, the Canadian references and examples are refreshing, a change that would appeal to the Canadian audience.     --G.B. Bourne, University of Calgary
