Each of them has its own strengths and weaknesses, so having a library of them available for students to use/refer to is a fine idea. Hofmann, Angelika H. Writing in the Biological Sciences. Oxford University Press. Knisely, Karin. A Student Handbook for Writing in Biology. Sinauer/Freeman. (currently used in our cornerstone course Essential Skills for Biologists) McMillan, Victoria E. Writing Papers in the Biological Sciences. Bedford/St Martin's. (currently used in our writing-intensive course General Ecology) Pechenik, Jan A. A Short Guide to Writing About Biology.
