No doubt when you first enter graduate school you are excited, but the excitement soon wears off when you find yourself overwhelmed by the amount of work your dissertation or thesis has in store for you. Your approach and methodology to your topic is laid out for you in a simple "start to finish" way in this book. The text is quite readable and isn't overburdened with polysyllabic words requiring a dictionary. The second edition is up to date and takes into consideration that we are no longer writing our dissertations and theses solely from dusty library stacks. For example information is given as to how to evaluate Internet information and effective ways to Google.
