The art of scientific writing

Most scientists live in a "publish or perish environment, but few would describe themselves as brilliant writers. Coming to the aid of all those wishing to improve the quality of their scientific writing, three experienced authors from differing backgrounds and cultures have worked together to compile this classic guide to scientific writing. This new edition has been completely revised to reflect dramatic changes in communication over the past 15 years. The primary emphasis is on writing techniques, accurate expression, adherence to accepted standards, and above all clarity, but the authors also venture into communication technology and organizational as well as ethical aspects of science.
