Review title: Don't buy this book it's a waste of money.
Product review: I can really not recommend this book. It is boring and I didn't learn anything important about scientific writing. In particular, I am annoyed by the examples, which show an unbelievable lack of political correctness. (e.g. page 25 f: "For instance, assume that after a long study you have decided to allow a company to mine zinc in an environmentally sensitive area. In the report that announces this decision to the public, you would withhold your decision until the latter part of the report so that you can first present your arguments for that decision.")To buy it, was a waste of money, to read it is a waste of time.There are much better books about scientific writing out there, for instance Jean-Luc Lebrun's "Scientific Writing".
