"Students can find the dissertation to be a daunting, anxiety
filled process. They often feel at sea trying to complete an
important task for which they do not have a good road map. They are
not even sure what are the right questions to ask, let alone what
the answers are. Faculty are not always helpful, since they often
simply assume that the student understands the nature of the task.
This book will be very useful to students, spelling out implicit
assumptions and making the entire dissertation process less opaque
and more manageable." – Kenneth Solberg, PhD, Saint Mary’s
University of Minnesota, USA"Overall, I think that this book
provides an important contribution to the literature and will help
many graduate students to navigate through the dissertation
process. I think the book is very good. In addition to excellent
chapters on the process of completing a dissertation (from finding
your advisor to defending and publishing the dissertation), there
are a number of resources for students; covering strategies for
overcoming various barriers and obstacles is also an important
feature of the book." – David Dozois, PhD, Professor and Director,
