Rezension zu „Doing Science “
"This volume is not a mere manual, but a readable narrative filled with facts and anecdotes about what makes research snap versus fizzle. Much of the advice remains timely and relevant, such as how a scientific community must consider cheats and frauds, as well as honest mistakes. Although directed largely at beginning researchers, some of the advice and information here will provoke thought for even seasoned researchers. Scientists at all levels of practice can benefit from Valiela's experience and deeply thoughtful approach in considering the peaks and pitfalls encountered in the conduct of science." -- The Quarterly Review of Biology"This new edition of Doing Science would be a perfect resource for courses that some graduate departments offer beginning researchers on how to initiate, conduct, and report on a research project. It would be a valuable addition to the libraries of both seasoned and novice researchers."--Choice"An essential reference for both instructors and students that fills an important gap in the undergraduate curriculum. The final section of this book illustrates its importance, as the author examines current perceptions of science. If more scientists took the time to consider how to communicate more clearly, design more clear-cut studies, and explain their results in a more convincing way, the gap between scientific consensus and public understanding might not be so large." --Teacher Education Materials (TE-MAT) Project
