MACMILLAN Authoring a PhD Thesis How to Plan Draft Write and Finish a Doctoral Dissertation

Authoring a PhD - How to plan, draft, write and finish a doctoral thesis or dissertation
Authoring a PhD Thesis is superb. It is so in three ways: tone; nature of the advice offered; the fact that the book itself is an exemplary illustration of the principles it recommends. After reading it, it is hard to see how many PhD students ever managed to write an acceptable thesis without reading it. I know of no other work offering advice of such substance.' John Peck, Cardiff University';
Pleasantly written, containing a lot of helpful suggestions, sound advice, and illuminating insights into the process of writing a thesis. I like the fact that the book has one clear, and original focus: It looks at the writing of a PhD as a process of authoring. This makes it useful not only for PhD students but also for more advanced scholars who are writing a book.' Giseline Kulpers, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands; '... elegantly written and contains crisp and incisive insights. I will recommend this book widely to students because it will help them significantly with the successful completion of their PhD thesis... I have gained some good ideas from reading the text.' Wyn Grant, Warwick University
