Recenzii

One of the universal roles of an educator is to convey to students the necessary study and communication skills, whether in science or in arts and humanities. This book addresses these key skills as a manual for students through their course and as preparation to enhance their attractiveness to employers.
The examples are from bioscience, such as measuring the leap distances of a laboratory population of locusts or migratory behaviours of geese, but are readily understandable for all.
Overall this is a very good book and I recommend it to students across many subjects, not only biosciences. I liked this book and indeed wished I had had such a book when I was a student.
