Forget the bumper reading list for a second. Writing for Science by Heather
Silyn-Roberts (Addison-Wesley Longman, £9.99, ISBN 0 582 87816 0) is the
only essential course preparation. While aimed at writing refuseniks,
know-it-alls from across the great divide should take a peek. It covers
everything from essays to theses to CVs. The chapter on style problems is a real
eyeopener—now you’ll always know your “its” from your “it’s”. Buy a copy
and the journals who later publish your research will thank their lucky
stars.
