A Field Guide for Science Writers: The Official Guide of the National Association of Science Writers

I am a recently retired scientist and finally have the time to do some things important to me such as science writing. So I looked for a source to guide and inspire me. The Field Guide is all I could have wanted.The editors have selected some of the best in the field to write and update the chapters. They begin each chapter with a helpful introduction to it's author. The Field Guide has excellent, timely, and useful information. It contains 'how to' chapters, 'where to look' and 'how to interview' chapters. Strunk and White would be impressed with the many examples of good writing.  The Elements of Style, Fourth Edition If you're a science writer, or want to be, you need the Field Guide as a reference and inspiration.

Ii ordered this ebook for a science writing class that I was taking. Boy was I surprised at how entertaining this book is for just leisure reading. There are lots of different short science stories which have actually been written and published for the current year. For someone who wants some great nonfiction entertainment or is looking at different styles of journalistic writing, this is an awesome book.

This book is written by a variety of professional writers who seem to be intent on sharing all of the (now-public) secrets to their success. Everything from finding a story to developing your style to maintaining sources and organizing information is covered. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in writing about science, and I would also mention it to anyone who would like to enrich their science writing.

Pretty helpful for my journalism class. It was informative with many examples to help drive each chapter/lesson home.

Every type of journalism has its own challenges. This book, as it says, is a boot camp for science writing. It helped to me firm ideas about how to make articles clearer and more interesting. Food4Thought.Today

As you could probably guess, I'm a bomb writer now. And I owe that almost solely to this book. Its definitely a keeper.

This is a good book. It has some great examples of science and nature writing. I enjoyed reading a lot of the pieces in it, especially the one on plastics in the North Pacific Gyre.

excellent condition and useful

Il libro soddisfa le mie aspettative, è immediato, comprensibile, i diversi autori si rapportano molto bene tra di loro. Gli esempi facilitano la comprensione.
