WRITING SCIENCE IN PLAIN ENGLISH - ANNE E GREEN...

Scientific writing is often dry  wordy  and difficult to understand. But  as Anne E. Greene
shows in Writing Science in Plain English  writers from all scientific disciplines can learn to
produce clear  concise prose by mastering just a few simple principles. This short  focused
guide presents a dozen such principles based on what readers need in order to understand
complex information  including concrete subjects  strong verbs  consistent terms  and organized
paragraphs. The author  a biologist and an experienced teacher of scientific writing 
illustrates each principle with real-life examples of both good and bad writing and shows how
to revise bad writing to make it clearer and more concise. She ends each chapter with practice
exercises so that readers can come away with new writing skills after just one sitting. Writing
Science in Plain English can help writers at all levels of their academic and professional
careers--undergraduate students working on research reports  established scientists writing
articles and grant proposals  or agency employees working to follow the Plain Writing Act. This
essential resource is the perfect companion for all who seek to write science effectively.
