Taskey (research planning, California Polytechnic State U.-San Luis Obispo) offers a travel guide, not to field research in the far corners of the globe, but to the labyrinthine wilds of graduate school itself. He sets out in detail the steps and stages of gathering resources, making decisions, taking action, and completing the process of research and thesis or dissertation. His topics are the beginning, definitions and dualities, research planning, reading and writing, keeping track of things, presenting your work and yourself, and when it is all over.
