Ideas into Words: Mastering the Craft of Science Writing 2007-04-23 08:19:00 Elise Hancock (The Johns Hopkins University Press) "To write nonfiction, whether “science writing” or any other kind, is an act of intimacy. You are inviting the reader into your world—into your mind, no less. As your close companion, the reader will share the alien cadences of your thought. He will borrow your vocabulary, no doubt of a flavor not quite his own. He will be at the mercy of your skills to see, to hear, to think and feel, to assess people and draw them out, to persist until you really know—and, of course, to put what you know into words. It requires a certain trust, to be a reader. Once the words are in print, however, it’s the writer who has to trust, because the reader now holds the reins. If an author loses me, I can stop reading. Or I can skip a chapter, or three, or skim, or read each paragraph five times, analyzing and underlining in several different colors until the words droop and die. Whatever the reader does, the writer has no recourse. Yet how intert Read more:Craft

Nexus: English for Advanced Learners 2007-03-23 08:05:00 Martin Mills (Heinemann English
Language Teaching) "In general Nexus
is a course for students of English whose level is approximately equivalent to pass standard at Cambridge FCE. By the end of the course, the English of such users should be most of the way to the level required for a Cambridge Proficiency candidate. However, the course is a general one, not a specific preparation for any examination. The aims of Nexus are to broaden and enrich your English, and to help you to use it more correctly, creatively and fluently. An equally important aim is to help you to be an adult, autonomous learner of English, for whom time spent in the classroom is only a part of your studies. Students who think for themselves and take their English out of the classroom when they leave it are much more likely to be successful learners. To this effect, Nexus contains practical advice on how to organise your learning effectively, and a varied selection of voluntary projects and assignments, to be tackled

Guide to the Successful Thesis and Dissertation: A Handbook for Students and Faculty, Fifth Edition 2007-06-28 00:13:00 James E. Mauch & Namgi Park (Marcel Dekker, Inc.) "The first edition of this book grew out of the dearth of written information on the subject for either students or faculty. They told us they needed to know much more about doing or directing theses and dissertations than they found in college catalogues, graduate office instructions, or discussions with those who had experienced the process. We decided to write about the “how to” aspects of thesis and dissertation study and to emphasize the intellectual effort required of both students and professors. This book is designed to inform and advise about the thesis and dissertation process, how to get through it and get the most out of it. The fact that half of the students who complete course requirements do not go on to complete the dissertation (in some schools as high as 70%) makes our objective more urgent (Monaghan, 1989).
