From deep fug to ‘What was the question again?’, from maintaining momentum to permanent hair damage, this book is a must for every ambitious student, would-be supervisor, and university administrator. – Dr Ariel Salleh, University of Sydney


This fantastic resource is packed full of stories about the highs and lows of being a thesis student and practical tips on getting the most out of the experience. I strongly recommend this book to anyone contemplating, already enrolled in or supervising thesis research. There is invaluable advice and much to share with family, friends and colleagues. – Professor Judy Brown, Victoria University of Wellington


In the early stages of my PhD journey, I found this book comprehensively helpful. The honesty of the contributors about the realities of their experiences and technical details on things like organisation, methodology and writing provided much assistance. It’s a great read. – Sue Bradford
