Reviews / Votes
'This clearly written, accessible book, packed with practical and widely field-tested material, will be a tremendous resource to graduate students and their supervisors, and even to newer postdoctoral scholars hoping to polish their work for publication. I am looking forward to using it with my own students and highly recommend it to others' - Dana Ferris, University of California, Davis 'One of the key features of this book is that it has a specific target audience and subject area. This enables the author to explore at greater depth issues related to academic writing which are significant and relevant to postgraduate writers. The book is written in an accessible style and will prove to be an indispensable guide to successful writing in higher education' - Suganthi John, University of BirminghamMore details
