I have purchased the ' Personalized Back Cover'
option and this is the text that should appear at the
back cover of my book: Is there room for yet another
book on PhD-writing? Yes there is. Most of the available
publications on this topic are contributions from
professional academics, written from the perspective of
supervisors or examiners rather than from that of
successful candidates. Most of them are too long and not
always user-friendly, while their approach is, more
often than not, too scientific to be accessible to the
average candidate. It is with these considerations in
mind that the author, an average doctoral candidate who
wrote his PhD thesis while working full-time, submitting
his written work for examination within 24 months of
becoming registered as a research student in one of the
UK's top Law Schools, set out to write this book, which
is, uniquely, written from a student's perspective. What
makes of this work an original contribution is not the
novelty of the topic addressed in it but, rather, its
brevity, its practical approach, its simplicity, the
background of its author (a recent, successful PhD
candidate) and the motivation of its author: to help
candidates complete their PhD thesis in under three
years, as the author of this book did. This short book
contains a wealth of practical advice and guidance on
the issues involved in conceptualizing, organizing and
writing your doctoral thesis so that you can increase
your chances of surviving the ordeal of PhD thesis
writing with the least amount of pain and with the
minimum investment in terms of the time and effort spent
pursuing your objective. |
