This book has been specially designed for students taking courses in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering or technical subjects. It offers comprehensive coverage of the structure of Scientific English at textbook level and a wide variety of written exercises. The approach adopted is flexible. Certain units, such as those dealing with dimensions and properties, definitions, descriptions, tables and graphs, develop along functional lines, while in other areas, such as relative clauses and compounds nominals, the grammatical elements are stressed. The supplementary unit A Glimpse at English Phonetics gives students practice in pronunciation and transcription of English sounds, improves their speaking and listening skills.
