  Writing is an important part of science but many students receive no formal training in the art of writing. They need to be able to write good English if they are to be effective as scientists and engineers. This book, by a scientist, is not a textbook on English grammar: nor is it just one more book on how to write a technical report, or a thesis, or a paper for publication. It is, instead, about all the ways in which writing is important to scientists and engineers in helping them to remember to observe, to think, to plan, to organize and to communicate. Scientists and engineers, whether they are students wishing to be clear and succinct in course work and examinations, or working scientists and engineers needing to be able to communicate more effectively with their colleagues, will find this book an invaluable aid.
