"A one-stop shop for students who need to learn how to write clearly and cohesively about science, and for scientists looking to improve their writing skills to support their public outreach efforts, create more effective course material, and even improve grant applications. It teaches readers that particles of language are like particles of physics-, quarks, leptons, and bosons. These subatomic particles, combined and arranged, form something greater than their parts: all matter, including us; movement; light; energy. Similarly, this book's six areas of language, when combined and arranged, create writing that matters, that moves, that illuminates, that energizes the reader to feel, learn, change, and act. This interdisciplinary approach helps scientists, science writers, writers, and editors improve in six fundamental areas, building from the sounds in a word to the pacing of a paragraph (and learn basic particle physics in the process)"--
