Hardback. Zustand: Good. An engaging history of the surprising, poignant, and occasionally scandalous stories behind scientific names and their cultural significance, ?More fun than you?ve ever had with taxonomy in your whole entire life!" (Diana Gabaldon, author of the Outlander series and PhD in Quantitative Behavioral Ecology) Ever since Carl Linnaeus?s binomial system of scientific names was adopted in the eighteenth century, scientists have been eponymously naming organisms in ways that both honor and vilify their namesakes. This charming, informative, and accessible history examines the fascinating stories behind taxonomic nomenclature, from Linnaeus himself naming a small and unpleasant weed after a rival botanist to the recent influx of scientific names based on pop-culture icons?including David Bowie?s spider, Frank Zappa?s jellyfish, and Beyoncé?s fly.   Exploring the naming process as an opportunity for scientists to express themselves in creative ways, Stephen B. Heard?s fresh approach shows how scientific names function as a window into both the passions and foibles of the scientific community and as a more general indicator of the ways in which humans relate to, and impose order on, the natural world.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The ability to write clearly is critical to any scientific career. The Scientist's Guide to Writing provides practical advice to help scientists become more effective writers so that their ideas have the greatest possible impact. Drawing on his own experience as a scientist, graduate adviser, and editor, Stephen Heard emphasizes that the goal of all scientific writing should be absolute clarity; that good writing takes deliberate practice; and that what many scientists need are not long lists of prescriptive rules but rather direct engagement with their behaviors and attitudes when they write. He combines advice on such topics as how to generate and maintain writing momentum with practical tips on structuring a scientific paper, revising a first draft, handling citations, responding to peer reviews, managing coauthorships, and more. In an accessible, informal tone, The Scientist's Guide to Writing explains essential techniques that students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists need to write more clearly, efficiently, and easily. * Emphasizes writing as a process, not just a product* Encourages habits that improve motivation and productivity* Explains the structure of the scientific paper and the function of each part* Provides detailed guidance on submission, review, revision, and publication* Addresses issues related to coauthorship, English as a second language, and more.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Blending deep experience, humor, and evidence-based advice, this is an invaluable resource for everyone involved in developing good scientific writers.   Every scientist eventually teaches scientific writing or mentors junior scientists as they develop their writing skills-only to discover that the task is both challenging and remarkably time-consuming. If you are in this position, Teaching and Mentoring Writers in the Sciences is the resource you need, offering approaches that will help you help writers develop their skills more effectively and with less time and effort.   Bethann Garramon Merkle and Stephen B. Heard, both experts in scientific communication, offer evidence-based advice that draws on their own extensive experience as well as on proven tactics from writing studies, science studies, and rhetoric and composition. Shorn of the unfamiliar and off-putting jargon that much pedagogy literature adopts, their advice is engaging and accessible to scientists. As you read, you'll see where developing writers are coming from; how mastering scientific writing matters to the careers of students who do and don't continue in academia; how writing occurs and is taught in both undergraduate and graduate curricula; how to find and harness teaching resources that help share the workload; how to teach writing to students who speak English as an additional language; and how to navigate the use (by yourself and by developing writers) of tools from pencils and dictionaries to AI writing assistants. If you teach or mentor scientific writers, this book will help you deliver what your students and mentees need most: clear, effective writing guidance.…
