A shiningly original and singularly accessible wordsmanship work on diagnosing and curing 'medicus incomprehensibilis'. This is a widespread medical writing disease that the authors have finally successfully addressed. This how-to book is just what the doctor ordered or soon should. Full disclosure: social science doctors like myself appear to also have contracted the disease as well and could use this cure.

This small book will eventually set the standard for all publications that seek to reach a wide, international scientific audience.

I congratulate all the authors... they have performed a tremendous service to the bio-medical community.
