This textbook helped me from start to finish with my PhD thesis, including the Viva part of the process. I used it as a paint-by-numbers guide to make my work a readable and successful thesis. The examples are excellent and you can easily follow these, using your own work, to write each chapter. It gave me a great idea for a conceptual background chapter, which was commented on by my examiners as being a particularly useful chapter. I seriously could not have done it without this book. Unlike some books on the market, you can tell that it is written by someone who has seen many, many theses and knows a thing or two about how to get them wrong…and also how to get them right! Thank you Brewer et al!!
