Review:

'It is written fluently and engagingly. Explanations, broader discussions and directions never out-stay their welcome. The book keeps moving on. There is also a very good sense of how much information the reader can absorb in a sentence, a paragraph and a section.' - John Peck, former Reader at Cardiff University, UK

'I admire the general, well-written, refreshingly presented, focus on 'thinking'. The market is huge and ever-expanding. There are a number of volumes on 'how to write a dissertation', but not with a focus on clarity of language and building arguments.' - Jonathan Grix, Senior Lecturer in German Studies and Research Methodology, University of Birmingham
