Help With Your Thesis/Dissertation
I was rather amazed at the large number of books available to help in the writing of a thesis/dissertation. I have attempted to identify a number of them in this listing. As you will notice, the first group of books include my comments/review (and they are MY comments). They are the ones that I have actually held in my hands and spent time examining. In addition, I have loosely ordered these books with the "better" ones presented toward the top of the listing. I have also listed other books that I have found that are related to writing a thesis/dissertation. These books are on my To-Do list and I will be posting reviews of them as soon as possible.

Are there other books that you feel I should include in this listing? Please send me an email - levine@msu.edu
