Review
"...a good author guide and style manual, especially for the beginner. Experienced writers will also find important reference information..." (E–STREAMS, November 2004)
"With an extensive index and literature reference section, this book is a must–have reference for the research scientist and all those aspiring to master the art of scientific writing." (Today′s Chemist at Work, August 2004)
"The newest edition of The Art of Scientific Writing is a terrific resource for scientific and other writers alike." (Vet Human Toxicology, 46 (4) August 2004)
A brief selection out of over 70 reviews of the first edition:
"The authors have a passion, not only for clarity and economy of style, but also for precision and consistency." (Nature)
"You could not be in better hands. The Art of Scientific Writing is a very substantial achievement, and I imagine the initials EBR of the authors will become a household word among a generation of chemists." (Chemistry in Australia)
"This outstanding volume is a definite ′must′ for every chemists′ writing." (Journal of Chromatography)
"Although the scope is wide, the book is extremely detailed and full of practical advice." (CBE Views)
"...small–in–size but large–in–content volume..." (JAOCS)
"This is a very comprehensive and well written book. It is highly recommended. (Polymers Paint Colour Journal)
"This book is so full of information that a beginner in research could possibly be put off. He should persevere and read the whole book. There is so much here which is of help." (Chemistry and Industry)
"...a request to review this book in 300–500 words presents the reviewer with similar difficulty as would a review of the works of Shakespeare in the same space.... I urge all fumbling amateurs to forget their shyness. They will find The Art of Scientific Writing an invaluable handbook for the scientific seduction of the body English." (Trends in Pharmalogical Sciences)
"...I can praise the authors for their clear, concise and systematic coverage of all forms of scientific communication including written, spoken and visual.... I strongly recommend this book to scientific libraries as a reference." (Polymer Division Newsletter)
"Wonderful volume for a gift to a college student, associate, or for yourself. Highly recommended!" (Adhesives & Sealants Newsletters)
"This book will be of service to chemistry and especially to chemistry editors and should also be in every technical library." (Angewandte Chemie International Edition in English)
"This book could be a useful reference for students and professionals alike." (Industrial Chemist)
"...this is a very useful book that should be available in every research and educational establishment that is devoted to natural science." (Folia Parasitologica)
"It contains much good sense, and a lot of helpful information, clearly presented." (Journal of Organometallic Chemistry)
"After reading this book, I appreciate the excellent quality of this publicaton.... Laboratory researchers, university teachers, students and others from scientific disciplines will turn to this book again and again for the important and useful information it provides." (Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucenis)
"...this text can be recommended as an adjunct to one of the simpler books available." (The Journal of Histotechnology)
"...that there are three informed writers in the end adds a substantial richness to this practical and informative book." (Chemical and Engineering News)

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
