“This text has excellent examples and provides a good overview of the writing process. Students have given me positive feedback about the engaging style. The book provides specific writing strategies and examples that help take the ‘sting’ out of starting to work on a dissertation--which students often experience as overwhelming and anxiety provoking. Students learn that it is not about perfection from the first paragraph; rather, there is a method to beginning to evaluate and write. The recommendations for working through the writing process are spot-on.â€--Susan Torres-Harding, PhD, Department of Psychology, Roosevelt University“As required reading in our doctoral-level course Scholarly Habits of Mind, this text has proven to be very effective and well received by the students. The book stands out for its nuanced explanations of complex concepts and the appealing visuals that accompany each topic. The second edition is a welcome gift to both students and faculty.â€--Antonina Lukenchuk, EdD, National College of Education, National Louis University“This text walks students through the process of writing a literature review. Throughout, boxed examples and tables allow students to make direct comparisons between techniques and serve as quick references. From the very first step to the last, the text instructs, offers examples, and provides opportunities for practice. A literature review written using the approach outlined in this text is likely to be a successful one. Additionally, this book serves as an appropriate guide for those who might need to construct a literature review as part of a grant application (or similar) in a professional setting.â€--Jennifer Scroggins, PhD, Department of Social Sciences and Cultural Studies, Montana State University Billings“As a social work educator, I like the succinct writing, as well as the charts, boxed examples, and group activities that can be used in the classroom for analysis or application.â€--Kristin Bailey-Wallace, LMSW, School of Social Work, Stephen F.
