4.0 out of 5 stars It should be recommended reading for every student., 10 Dec 1999
By adeo@bigfoot.com (London, England) - See all my reviews
Having come across Mr Dunleavy's book in my course of study for a Master's Degree, my sole criticism of the it is that it restricts itself to the humanities - of course modes of study for physical and social sciences are different.

Particularly useful are the chapters on essays; examinations and dissertations.

As I could not recommend it highly enough, perhaps it might be useful if there were versions for students of higher degrees and physical sciences.

5.0 out of 5 stars 20 years old but definitely Worth it!, 4 Oct 2006
By H. Talbot "Digitalparadox" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is very deserving of 5 stars. Despite the fact it was written a while back, it holds true to it's word - it's provides concise and well grounded information on how to study effectively for a social science degree. I'm doing a law degree and found it very useful after my lecturer recommended it. The author teaches at the LSE and I commend him on writing such a good book.
