Review Quotes 'This book is well-presented and appears to be well made. Each tip is thoroughly sensible; thus this book embodies a great deal of solid practical advice. The advice given is kindly and mostly positive. It is really all there. The authors have honed their tips by teaching courses in scientific communication for some years and their experience is evident. I would love to have had a book like this at the start of my professional career and I probably needed its advice more than I realized at the time.' EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF SCIENCE EDITORS JOURNAL
