Recenzii

“This book addresses common writing issues in a clear and matter-of-fact, but thoughtful and thorough manner. The author addresses issues often outside the control of the researcher—funding, ownership of data, collaborative relationships, student-chair and mentor relationships, and concerns about reputation after abandoning a research project. All need addressing and I applaud the author for doing so in a forthright manner.”
“I believe this text could be a helpful tool to assist dissertation students who become bogged in the research mire.” 

Readers will find themselves in these pages, and find themselves attended to without judgment, without impatience, and without ridicule.”
