Recenzje

`Publish or perish is a cliché, but true and we all take it seriously. As a result the total medical output doubles about every seven years. Some books form important stepping stones to greater production, and easier life and the more efficient use of resources. This book is one to be recommended highly to all who write, lecture and teach.'
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 75 (1982)
`...one of the most useful practical publications to appear in many a long day. It can be highly recommended.'
Journal of the Institute of Health Education, 23:3
`...Departmental Libraries that do not already possess it should add it to their shelves.'
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 78 (1985)
`Presentation of Data in Science is an excellent book, and every serious research unit producing papers and preparing lectures should have a copy on its shelves - and should use it.'
British Medical Journal
