Sadly, nearly half of all students who start a doctoral program drop out before graduating. Writing from a student advocacy perspective, Hawley (San Diego State University) explains the unwritten rules of doctoral study, drawing on 20 years of experience as a student, faculty member, dissertation chair, and as a director of doctoral programs. The book is written primarily for PhD seekers in the social and behavioral sciences, the humanities, and such professional fields as education, counseling, and social work. It begins with an overview of differences in learning and management styles and issues of older students and minorities. Advice is provided on choosing a dissertation topic and types of professors to seek out and those to avoid. The book offers background on basic research concepts, human subjects, and data gathering, and gives tips on the proposal hearing, working with the committee, and writing the conclusion and abstract. A final chapter gives advices to spouses, families, and friends. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
