Product Description A rhetorical, multi-disciplinary guide, Writing in the Sciences discusses the major genres of science writing including research reports, grant proposals, conference presentations, and a variety of forms of public communication. Multiple samples from real research cases illustrate a range of scientific disciplines and audiences for scientific research along with the corresponding differences in focus, arrangement, style, and other rhetorical dimensions. Comparisons among disciplines provide the opportunity for students to identify common conventions in science and investigate variation across fields.

This book is good if you're quite the beginner. Not very helpful if you've been around the block. It's cheaper to do a google search and read a few REAL scientific papers BUT the articles in here are informative and interesting. If you like rules and need a lot of guidance before writing, it's a great choice.
