The latest in Springer's "Medical English" series, aimed at health care
professionals who need English for their work but do not speak English
on a day-to-day basis. Although much of the information provided will be
useful for scientists of all backgrounds and nationalities, the book is
aimed especially at non-native English-speaking physicians and
biomedical scientists. It offers clear advice on a variety of topics
relevant to the successful preparation and delivery of scientific
presentations. Alongside guidance on the actual preparation and delivery
of talks, helpful information is provided on such potential difficulties
as dealing with questions, chairing sessions, and use of appropriate
English. The book will offer encouragement for those embarking on a
career in international science as well as practical advice on how to
deal with a wide range of situations that may develop in the context of
an international congress.
