I enthusiastically recommend GRADUATE RESEARCH to anyone thinking about graduate school, to new graduate students, and to those who educate graduate students.

This third edition has been updated with information about new federal regulations governing research and acknowledges the importance of the internet and World Wide Web to today’s scientific community
