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.

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.

The narrative explores the author's poignant childhood during the German and Russian occupations of Hungary, highlighting her family's harsh exile and a grueling three-week journey in a cramped boxcar.

Central to the story is the family's enduring hope and belief in achieving the American dream, despite the challenges they face in a foreign land.
