The Craft of Research by Wayne C Booth

The Craft of Research by Wayne C Booth

Includes discussion of the useful early stages of a research task: planning and drafting a paper. This title explains how to build an argument that motivates readers to accept a claim; and, how to anticipate the reservations of readers and to respond to them appropriately.

"A well-constructed, articulate reminder of how important fundamental questions of style and approach, such as clarity and precision, are to all research" - Times Literary Supplement "I recommend it to my students... and keep a copy close at hand as the first option offered to students who ask 'Just how should I begin my research?'" - Business Library Review"
