Review
A comprehensive and sharp guide to taking your reading, writing, and thinking to the next level. The authors do not only explain the concepts they bring forward, but also show what it can look like in a text. It makes everything much easier to understand!
The tools in the book have helped me a lot! This book taught me how to logically structure a piece of work before even starting to write it, which, in my case, took away lots of stress, and made my work much easier to follow. I strongly recommend reading this book!
-- Axel Bergström Published On: 2021-08-31
The best research-skills support I have encountered for social-sciences postgrads. It not only breaks down the anatomy of a research project in detail and with practical examples, but also illuminates theoretical issues such as author bias and reader response.
This book is invaluable, and I find myself turning back to it frequently as I reach the next stage of a project. It will always have a place on my desk!

A must-read for any student looking to develop their reading and writing skills at research level. It delves into how students can develop their critical thinking and research skills before tackling their writing woes. Wallace and Wray will become personal tutors, offering an array of academic knowledge through writing exercises in which students can apply in their research directly. It is one of the few books on the market written with the student in mind, and one in which effectively identifies the steps needed to write a research paper, dissertation, and/or thesis. -- Tamara Tarchichi Published On: 2021-08-30

A good text which guides post-graduate nursing students well in the art of critical reading and writing.

I will definitely be recommending this text to my students. -- Mr Thomas Beary ― drupal Published On: 2022-03-28
