Dispensable
In this book, you will find nothing that you can find in others - in a better way. The authors want to teach you how to write - the first mistake; someone who buys this book knows how to write, but in his/her mother tongue. Then this book will give you some grammar notions: too bad, because any book that prepairs one for the TOEFL, for example, will do it better. Finally, the book will even try to teach how you should behave with your supervisor (in the case you are a graduate student). Come on, this is not what we want to see in a book like this. I would like useful hints on style, not grammar, that would make what I say more understandable for several distinct audiences. We don't find this here.
