Additional text
Alan Kelly's How Scientists Communicate isn't just a 'how to' book, although there is a lot of good advice in it; it's also an interesting discussion of the history, evolution, logic, and ethics of our communication media-papers, talks, and posters. He brings long experience, deep insight, and a sense of humor to a book that is worth reading regardless of where you are in your career.
