From the beginning of their careers, and forever after, scientists are called upon to do various kinds of writing and speaking. Communication skills are among the qualities most prized by those who hire and promote scientists. Scientific Papers and Presentations provides a concise guide to effective written and oral communication, including posters, presentations, abstracts, journal publications, literature reviews, and theses. Based on the author's fifteen years of experience advising young scientists about scientific writing, this book can be used as a text for courses and seminars on scientific writing and presentation. It is a handy and valuable reference for fledgling scientists.

Updated with a bold new look, this best-selling classic workbook for beating stress offers comprehensive, step-by-step directions for the most popular relaxation techniques including mindfulness meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, thought stopping, stress inoculation, autogenics, and more.

Many believe that those who excel in communication possess an innate talent that allows them to speak and listen to others, a gift that is impossible to acquire or improve. However, the truth is that communication skills are developed through thoughtful effort and practice. Learning ways to understand others and express your thoughts more clearly will enhance every aspect of your life. This comprehensive and practical guide has helped thousands of readers develop better relationships with their friends, family members, colleagues, and partners.

Both authors are PhDs in Psychology. Practically every advice written in this book is backed up by some empiracal evidence or study. The book covers all aspects of communication such as listening, body language, and influencing others using operant conditioning. One should note that this book focuses improving relationships through better communication. Hence, this book is not suitable for situations where antagonistic and competitive communication styles are warranted. For example, I thought the chapter on negotiation was poor due to the fact that the book promotes a "nice guy who will listen" approach to negotiation. Such approach to negotiation with no competitive strategic objective will spell disaster against a well seasoned negotiation sharks in a professional environment. Overall, the book offers solid scientifically based advice on personal communication. Just don't rely too much on it in a setting where competition, not cooperation, can be the norm.
