Any researcher has to read this book. It's wonderful how so much attention is considered to writing the literature review. Honestly, I have been taught by an incompetent supervisor that the literature review is the least imnportant part in the Thesis! This astounding book proved that hypothesis wrong. Literature review is your gateway to inform yourself about the subject. To be comfortable with uncertainty and conflicting perspectives. It's so enriching and enlightening!
