Produktbeschreibung

This companion to The Craft of Scientific Writing discusses the common problems encountered by teachers, editors, reviewers, and managers who are called upon to improve, evaluate, or approve the writings of others. It discusses not only the specifics of editing for content, style, and presentation, but also the dynamics of the author-editor relationship, and the problems that frequently arise when manuscripts must be edited and approved by several layers of management.
