These particles, combined and arranged, form something greater than their parts: all matter in the literary universe. The six levels of language covered in this guide create writing that illuminates and energizes the reader to feel, learn, change, and act. This interdisciplinary approach helps scientists, science writers, and editors improve their writing in fundamental areas as they build from the sounds in a word to the pacing of a paragraph. These areas include\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Sound and sense\u003cbr\u003e- Word classes\u003cbr\u003e- Grammar and syntax\u003cbr\u003e- Punctuation\u003cbr\u003e- Rhythm and emphasis\u003cbr\u003e- Pacing and coherence\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEqually helpful for students who need to learn how to write clearly about science and scientists who need to hone their writing skills to create more effective course material, papers, and grant applications, this guide builds confidence in writing abilities as old skills are taught in new, exciting ways.
