“I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone writing a dissertation. Although you will certainly wind up spending far more than 15 minutes each day on your dissertation, Bolker gives you the advice and the inspiration to get started, to keep going, and to get done. My best friend gave it to me as I finished up my course work in my graduate program, and I read it cover to cover several times, at several stages of my project. It's great for anyone in any field.”
