Shons writing is engaging and entertaining; he opens up the "black box" of academic reading and writing, explaining how to decode and critique formal scientific writing and systematically organize information gained from reading journal articles - Dr Lorraine Whitmarsh, School of Psychology, University of Cardiff, UK Once the reader has mastered Philip Shons codes and applied them to texts, it will become increasingly impossible not to write and critique with integrity. I thoroughly recommend this book - Professor Helen Cowie, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Surrey, UK Many texts provide tips for successfully writing theses, dissertations, and journal articles.
