"Praise for 1st edition: 'Every scientist must write; every scientist should therefore read this book, and be challenged by it." - Education in Chemistry
"The book's main strength is undoubtedly the wealth of examples drawn from the author's years of experience in dealing with both clearly written and confusing, distorted scientific English...Kirkman's skill at demonstrating 'what not to write' will surely be appreciated by all users of his book...I shall continue to recommend it to students who are writing their first reports, and are seeking to overcome deficiencies in their writing."--Susan Armstrong, University of Glasgow, Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Vol 7, Issues 1, No. 12, June 2006
