Purchase options and add-ons

Experimental Design for the Life Sciences equips students with the skills they need to effectively design experiments, making this essential aspect of the research process readily understandable. With a refreshingly approachable and articulate style, the book walks students through the considerations that go into designing an experiment in clear, practical terms. Using examples drawn from across the life sciences - from ecology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, and health sciences - the authors illustrate how these concepts are applied within the broad context of real biological research.This title is available as an eBook.

Product description

Review

Review from previous edition This is an excellent book for learning how to approach the design of experimental and, indeed, observational work. It avoids the usual inclusion of statistical detail that turns many students off while retaining all the key issues that are necessary for planning studies that produce good science. I commend this book to all those who struggle to get students to think seriously about designing good scientific studies. ― Higher Education Academy, Bioscience e-Journal, June 2006

I think it is splendid; it is the sort of short and concise text which students remember for a long time and which they hang on to long after the course is passed. ― Bernt Walther, Department of Fisheries and Marine Biology, University of Bergen

A well-presented, clearly argued, concise and witty introduction to one of the most important topics in the life sciences. ― Nick Royle, School of Biosciences, Exeter University

    5.0 out of 5 stars A reference for experimental design

    A complete guide for a very important but often neglected aspect in the biosciences : the experimental design. Really well written.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds cheesy to say, but this book spreads the knowledge in a fun way
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Wow, what a beautifully written, humorous and interesting book!

    Considering the topic, I was expecting something much drier- and indeed I have attempted to read much drier books on similar topics. It reads a bit like a philosophical book as well- analysing the logical thought process behind the conception and design of an experiment.

    I would recommend this book to anyone, to expand your general knowledge and thinking on all things science, and properly appreciate the effort as well as the limitations behind designing an experiment.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Leider zu einfach und zu wenig nützliche Informationen
    Reviewed in Germany on 11 October 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Auf der Suche nach einem Buch, dass ich meinen Studenten empfehlen kann um sich einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Aspekte des Designen von Experimenten zu verschaffen habe ich dieses Buch gekauft. Dem Inhaltsverzeichniss zufolge deckt es interessante Gebiete ab, wie z. B. auch Split-plot-design. Die Themen aus dem Inhaltsverzeichniss werden natürlich auch bedient, aber es geht nur an wenigen Stellen über eine oberflächliche Beschreibung hinaus. Da wo es interessant wird hört das Buch auf. Als aller erster Einstieg mag das Buch zu empfehlen sein (es ist sehr einfach geschrieben) aber für das Nieveau das ich von einem Masterstudenten erwarte ist es nicht ausreichend. Es gibt tatsächlich nur einen ersten oberflächlichen Eindruck vom Thema.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for a necessary but boring subject
    Reviewed in the United States on 5 February 2011
    Verified Purchase
    I don't like reading about experimental design, but as a biology grad student and also as a high school science teacher I need to constantly. This book takes a boring subject and presents it in a readable fashion without having to nap or purposely look for distractions. It also has the added benefit of having a chimp on the cover which just adds to its value as a conversation piece. It has an entire chapter on ethics, which is great considering most science books just mention ethics in passing. I would recommend this book to anyone helping students design science fair projects, or to those who forgot how hard it was to come up with their research topics and studies in college.

    Es un muy buen libro para iniciarse en el diseño de experimentos. Tiene gran cantidad de ejemplos fáciles de comprender.
