Isbn: 9780306410758 - winning the games scientists play (18 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. The interpersonal strategies that surround the act of doing good science--hereafter referred to as scientific game play- ing-have received some published attention, and many of the game rules are almost axiomatic among successful prac- titioners of science. There is a need, however, to review pe- riodically what we know and what we think we know about the art, and to add new insights that become available. This book is a response to that need; it has been written for science practitioners and grandstanders of the 1980s, drawing on in- Sights and perceptions gained from victories and defeats of the 1970s. It seems especially important that the strategies and rules of scientific game playing be reviewed critically as we move into the decade of the 1980s, since many of those rules have changed during the 1970s--in fact each recent decade has seen significant changes. The 1950s were expansionist, when sci- entific jobs were relatively easy to find, when faculties were expanding, when students were plentiful, and when federal grants were readily available. The 1960s began as a period of stabilization, and then became one of unrest and reexami- nation of purpose. The climate was still good; students were v vi PREFACE still abundant, but there was less growth in faculty size, and federal grants reached a plateau. In the 1970s the student population started to decline, and federal funding for research began to dry up. …

Black Boards. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Third Printing. Matter-of-fact advice about getting ahead in science, written for science practitioners but pretty widely applicable to any careerist. Game playing, the author writes, "in science or in any occupation, can be defined as the ability and willingness not only to govern your actions by a set of rules, but to have those rules work in your favor." There are three parts to the book. The first considers the scientist as a writer, performer, face in the crowd (at scientific meetings), concertmaster, producer/director, and negotiator. The second deals with the scientist in the bureaucratic scheme: moving up, on and out, in control (power), and in doubt (ethics). And the third discusses special interest areas like sex in the lab, coping with bureaucrats, dealing with the outside and with the industry. It's a bravura performance, delivered dead-pan, and should be issued with the sheepskin to every newly minted PhD. 290 pages with Prologue, Epilogue, References and Index; plus Preface and Contents. DJs have a two tiny chips, otherwise clean though front flap is dogeared; boards have two tiny nips; text is clean and strong.…
