A very nice book for researchers

This is a most excellent and easy-to-follow guide on how to plan, structure, and write a (in my case) dissertation.

I can't say enough about this book. It is the best reference for writing a dissertation I have come across in my years as a student. I used it throughout the process, studying each section as I came to that place in my process. I found it easy to read and understand, concise and clear. It is a great guide and I wish I had known it existed when I was working on my Thesis.
Highly recommend this for any graduate student writing a Thesis or Dissertation. And remember, keep moving forward -- you will accomplish this!
