It delineates the dimensions of the scientist's character that must also be. A broad overview of the role of the scientist's self-respect, ethics, sense of charity, & collegiality is provided.
Chapter Two discusses the function of data interpretation in research that is based on a sample from a much larger population. The role of the "surprise result" & the importance of result confirmation are provided in clear, non-mathematical language for the scientist.
The important of diligent administration is discussed in Chapter Three, a topic that many scientists shun because of its non-scientific nature & absence of direct scientific productivity.

Special emphasis is provided on the approaches that one can use when communicating with & educating investigators more senior than you.
