Eloquent Science evolved from a workshop aimed at offering atmospheric science students formal guidance in communications, tailored for their eventual scientific careers. Drawing on advice from over twenty books and hundreds of other sources, this volume presents informative and often humorous tips for writing scientific journal articles, while also providing a peek behind the curtain into the operations of editorial boards and publishers of major journals. The volume focuses on writing, reviewing, and speaking and is aimed at the domain of the student or scientist at the start of her career. The volume offers tips on poster presentations, media communication, and advice for non-native speakers of English, as well as appendices on proper punctuation usage and commonly misunderstood meteorological concepts. A further reading section at the end of each chapter suggests additional sources for the interested reader, and sidebars written by experts in the field offer diverse viewpoints on reference topics.

Outstanding Book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Eloquent Science: A Practical Guide to Becoming a Better Writer, Speaker and Scientist (Paperback)
This is the best book I know that covers all aspects of scientific communication in a single volume. Most of it focuses on producing papers, and there is nothing better on the market that covers the entire process of getting published--from drafting the title to dealing with data in figures vs. tables, authorship ethics, references, all the way through the editorial and review process. The last chapters discuss, with insight and clarity, oral and poster presentations. It is an exceptional book--a must have. And I say that as the author of a "competing" book (Writing Science: How to write papers that get cited and proposals that get funded; Oxford University Press), but one which is more narrowly focused on writing per se. Importantly, Eloquent Science's messages are not limited to atmospheric science but are global and useful for any developing scientist.

Best book on the topic,
This review is from: Eloquent Science: A Practical Guide to Becoming a Better Writer, Speaker and Scientist (Paperback)
A very unique and well-written book by the world famous scientist David Schultz. Price is a bit steep, but is more of a textbook than a best seller.
