This review is from: Outline Of Scientific Writing, An, For Researchers With English As A Foreign Language (Paperback)
This book is a excellent writing guide for scientific writing. In my option, it is especially useful for students whose major is biology or chemistry and the Chinese students. I guess the reason is that the author is originally from China, and his background is related with chemistry and some other areas.

This review is from: Outline Of Scientific Writing, An, For Researchers With English As A Foreign Language (Paperback)
It used a lot of pages to go through grammar problems which there are many other excellent books to address. It is not very in depth on scientific specific topics. Good for beginners maybe.
