Synopsis:

This delightful book covers just about every conceivable problem likely to be encountered by a prospective author or editor. Not a handbook or ''usage'' book, it humorously explores and analyzes all the pitfalls of scientific English. The book is addressed to the scientist (not necessarily a chemist) who has to publish results and does not enjoy writing them up. After reading these cheerful and stimulating essays, the reader will know that scientific English can be fun to write and that one no longer needs to dread sitting down at the writing desk.
