Dear
valued subscriber,
One
would assume that with our various cutting-edge technologies, horrific
presentations are just figments of our imaginations. Unfortunately, it
seems that not even the most brilliant of inventions can save us from
hours of dreary lectures that fail to interest, much less educate, the
audience. Instead, Jean-Luc Lebrun, a professional trainer of
researchers and scientists, has engineered a handbook for scientists
that would make their presentation much less complicated than the
subject itself.
When
the Scientist Presents will make hard-hitting information, agitated
audiences, and lethargic presenters seem as outdated as cave paintings.

Molecular
Electronics
An Introduction to Theory and Experiment
by Juan Carlos Cuevas (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid,
Spain) & Elke Scheer (Universität Konstanz, Germany)
This
book provides a comprehensive overview of the rapidly developing field
of molecular electronics. It focuses on our present
understanding of the electrical conduction in single-molecule circuits
and provides a thorough introduction to the experimental techniques and
theoretical concepts. It will also constitute as the first
textbook-like introduction to both the experiment and theory of
electronic transport through single atoms and molecules. In this sense,
this publication will prove invaluable to both researchers and students
interested in the field of nanoelectronics and nanoscience in general.
Molecular
Electronics is self-contained and unified in its presentation. It
may be used as a textbook on nanoelectronics by graduate students and
advanced undergraduates studying physics and chemistry. In addition,
included are previously unpublished material that will help researchers
gain a deeper understanding into the basic concepts involved in the
field of molecular electronics.

![]() Nano LIFE
(Forthcoming)
The
tremendous success in developing new nanomaterial and fostering
technological innovation arises from its focus on interdisciplinary
research and collaboration between physical and medical scientists. The
concept of nanobiomedicine is one of the most important ideas ever
generated by the applications of nanoscience to medical fields.
Although there have been extensive interdisciplinary activities, major
collaborative efforts are needed to jointly address some of the most
challenging issues in life and medical sciences.

Research Writing For Non-Native Speakers Of English
by Hilary Glasman-Deal (Imperial College London, UK)
This
book is designed to enable non-native English speakers to write science
research for publication in English. It can also be used by English
speakers and is a practical, user-friendly book intended as a fast,
do-it-yourself guide for those whose English language proficiency is
above intermediate. The approach is based on material developed from
teaching graduate students at Imperial College London and has been
extensively piloted. The book guides the reader through the process of
writing science research and will also help with writing a Master's or
Doctoral thesis in English.
Science
writing is much easier than it looks because the structure and language
are conventional. The aim of this book is to help the reader discover a
template or model for science research writing and then to provide the
grammar and vocabulary tools needed to operate that model. There are
five units: Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion/Conclusion
and Abstract. The reader develops a model for each section of the
research article through sample texts and exercises; this is followed
by a Grammar and Writing Skills section designed to respond to
frequently-asked questions as well as a Vocabulary list including
examples of how the words and phrases are to be used.
![]() Youth
Prolonged: Old Age Postponed
by Robert Weale (King's College London, UK)
What
exactly is human ageing? Can it be slowed down? These questions have
puzzled scientists and laymen alike for generations, and continue to do
so today. The author addresses these thought-provoking issues by
challenging pre-conceived notions of age-perception, age-acceptance and
inter-age relations. Pertinent matters of age-related communication are
dealt with, and the reader is treated to a grand tour of the latest
theories of ageing, age-related biological changes and age-related
diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease. Here, the author's expertise in
age-related eye diseases truly comes into its own.
