Reviews
From the reviews:This book is that it focuses not just on how to write each section of a paper … but also on how to write clear, concise, unambiguous English … . It tells the students all kind of things that I have not found in other books on this topic … . I really recommend this book not just to students but also to EAP teachers … . written in a way that can be understood by students with an upper intermediate level of English. (Louise Sutherland, Amazon, May, 2011)"It may well be that a nine page contents section provokes thoughts of despair, and rightly so in some books, but not so for this book. The contents section in actual fact serves to allow the reader to accurately dip in and out of this book and have a particular question regarding writing research papers answered in a concise and straight forward fashion. The 308 pages are divided into 20 parts and each part is then further divided into sub chapters, each of which is titled with a question or simple statement, e.g., How should I structure my introduction or What tenses should I use? Most chapters, therefore, are short and to the point and effectively deal with an extremely fine aspect of writing, thus allowing the reader to cherry pick at will. Every conceivable aspect of writing is covered in detail, including my own favourite chapter 20:14 Dealing with rejections!! Nothing is omitted and everything is dealth with in a very easy to read and succinct format...This would be a useful book for those starting out on the research trail and for those struggling to get their work published. However, I suspect most of us would benefit from the odd chapter here and there..."

(ICS News, Volume 7, Issue No 2, July 2011), Aus den Rezensionen: ... die Umsetzung zu einem Leserfreundlichen Stil ... Herausarbeiten der wichtigsten Ergebnisse, pragnante, eindeutige Schreibweise, Vermeidung von Plagiaten, richtige Wohrtwahl. Man spürt, dass der Autor über sehr viel Erfahrung verfügt und mit ungefahr 700 Beispielsatzen kann man seine Anleitungen sehr gut umsetzen. Auf ersten Blick erscheint die Zielgruppe für dieses Buch sich auf Professoren und erfahrene Wissenschaftler zu beschränken Studierenden und ambitionierten 'Laien' kann es aber ebenfalls ein guter Ratgeber beim Verfassen englischer Texte sein.(in: Umwelt & Gesundheit, 2011, Vol. 22, Issue 2, S. 63)
