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.

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.
