Review

"This book should sell well for short courses at learning centres with its combination of practical guidelines and varied examples. Although, as mentioned, it is aimed at tertiary students, I would recommend it also for secondary school students and even for new academics preparing for their first conference presentation (perhaps minus the activities)!"
