Reviews
“Originally written for atmospheric scientists but useful to all”
– Andrew Russell, Postdoctoral Research Associate, University of Manchester.
“This book is amazingly complete!”
“Wow! This book is amazingly complete, even conveying insider information about how things work that will allow everyone to be more active and productive members of our profession.”
– Daphne LaDue, Director, National Weather Center Research Experience for Undergraduates Program, University of Oklahoma.
“Prepare to absorb what may prove the most valuable advice you will receive as a scientist.”
“Here before you is the complete guide to writing a good scientific paper, from the creation of an outline right through to the formalities of submission, review, and proofing. Just as important, Schultz provides invaluable guidance to the preparation and delivery of a scientific talk or poster, including techniques for soliciting and fielding questions and fostering lively discussion….So read on, and prepare to absorb what may prove the most valuable advice you will receive as a scientist.”
– Kerry Emanuel, Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA (from the Foreword)
“I am both excited and motivated to become a better writer.”
“I attended your writing workshop at the AMS student conference in Phoenix, and would like to thank you for your insights and advice. This represents the first time that I am both excited and motivated to become a better writer.”
— Scott D. Rudlosky, Doctoral Candidate, Dept. of Meteorology, Florida State University
“Every working scientist should read it.”
“Research is useless until communicated. Faraday’s famous advice to scientists is still valid: ‘Work. Finish. Publish.’ This wise and practical book explains the often-neglected third point, writing scientific papers and giving clear talks. Every working scientist should read it.”
— Richard Somerville, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego
“David Schultz has done it all—extremely well…”
“All of us can communicate with more clarity and style, whether it’s in print, at the podium, or in PowerPoint. David Schultz has done it all—extremely well—and he knows the special challenges of writing and talking about the atmosphere. We’re lucky to have David sharing his strategies with us in this delightful and invaluable book.”
— Bob Henson, writer/editor/media relations associate, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research
“Just what students in Atmospheric Science need.”
“I … had a chance to read the entire book this weekend. It is excellent — just what students in Atmospheric Science need.”
— David Whiteman, Research Professor, University of Utah
“If you need to communicate your science…, then Eloquent Science will help you to do so effectively.”
“Scientific communication, in all its forms, can be as difficult as it is important. If you need to communicate your science, and if you are an aspiring or practicing scientist you do, then Eloquent Science will help you to do so effectively.
— Paul Roebber, Professor, University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee
