“Appraisal of research papers in undergraduate courses tends to address the results, but rarely includes a critical evaluation of the researchers’ methodology. In reality, few bioscientists can claim a working knowledge of more than a handful of the techniques covered in this collection. These shortcomings can be greatly overcome thanks to this book. The contributors are active research scientists of high quality. Each addresses the methods in a critical sense and provide an expert's view of the advantages and pitfalls. There is no equivalent book currently available.” Dr David J. Miller, on behalf of The Physiological Society.
