Writing Science in Plain English by Anne E Greene
Bad writing is bad for science. The problem is so significant that clear writing has become a legal requirement for federal agencies, thanks to the Plain Writing Act of 2010, which requires that writing be accessible, consistent, written in plain language, and easy to understand. This book shows how to produce such clear, concise scientific prose.
"This is the best book of this sort I have readAnne E. Greene practices what she preaches, writing clearly for a general scientific audience. She comes across as both highly knowledgeable and accessible. Greene makes achieving clarity look simple, and I found myself marveling at her wizardry. Readers will find the text empowering." -Gina Maranto, University of Miami"
Anne E. Greene is a biologist by training and teaches scientific writing in the Wildlife Biology Program at the University of Montana.
