Recensioner i media

‘The PhD journey isn’t easy and as the title of this book suggests, it can feel like a “step into the unknown”. So, for anyone still at the planning stage or already well on the road, seeking out advice and guidance about how to manage the route, avoid wrong turnings and make it to the end point is really worthwhile. This brilliant book presents personal accounts of the PhD experience in a way that readers are sure to find accessible, supportive and empowering.’ Nigel South, University of Essex
