Handbook for Scientific and Technical Consultants

In the past few years a growing number of scientists and technical experts have opted to "go solo" and set themselves up as consultants. these include many thousands of chemists, physicists, engineers, biologists, science-based economists and many other disciplines. A large proportion of these scientists and other technical personel tend to have lived a fairly protected life and face a host of new challenges when they opt (voluntarily or otherwise) to go into consultancy. This book is designed to help them, not only iniitially but on the problems which arise from time to time throughout any consultancy practice. The author's wide overseas experience is reflected in the subject matter, so making it appropriate not only for the newcomer, but also for the already established consultant.
