Booth (Abridged) Audiobook

" A must-read for anyone doing a research at the grad level. "

" Good primer on research and the writing that must accompany it. "

" After my first read through this appears to be a fairly accessible reference resource. I anticipate that my appreciation for it will increase greatly as I will undoubtedly be making many trips back to the pages of this text over the next few years while working on research projects at seminary. For now, three stars; but that could increase over the next couple of years. "

" There's just only one word that comes to mind: useful. Admittedly, the book has its own weaknesses, e.g. the illustrative examples create some degree of ambiguity and do not translate the rationale of the proposed theoretical frameworks into a-ha moments for the readers. Nevertheless, devising a framework for how to approach the Craft of Research allows for a common ground for many students both undergraduate and graduate to relate to when writing or reading scientific papers. "

" I mostly just checked out the table of contents on this book. It seems to cover a lot of interesting ground. I'll have to take another look at it another time. "

" A must recommended by Prof. Fasolt from Chicago University; the aim is to learn basic skills of research and turn them into lifelong habits, if you really want to be a researcher, in particular, in humanities. "

" One of my supervisors insisted that I read this book before beginning the process of writing my thesis and I'm so glad he did! An excellent book I'd highly recommend to anyone and everyone in research regardless of how long you've been at it. "

" This is a great intro level book for a newbie researcher "

" The Craft of Research is an excellent, practical guide to research and writing; as useful for experienced researchers as it is necessary for college freshmen. "

" reads easily and helps a lot in basic ways "

" This is a good book if you're writing a research paper. "

" Wish I had read this when I was 18. "

" Pretty basic but it does its job. It's a great launching place, and something to revisit as your research topic develops. "

" I didn't read all of this, but I read enough to know that if I need research advice, I should consider this book first. "

" This book really can hep with the construton of a research queston/thesis. Most of this book is common sense. What I liked the most is all the bulletpoints. They really help and after ready most of the book, I found that the bulletpoins is all you need to read. "

" Very insightful. A practical guide which is for the beginner and the more advanced. "

" Must have for learning how to do research. "

" Very useful for those of you advising grad students... "

" a good start in qualitative research it touches on the important elements of QR dose not go into details interviewing process ... "

" Going to Grad school? Writing a paper, thesis or disertation? Then you'll want this book. Such projects require process- a process that you need to know going in rather than 3/4ths of the way through. "

" It might have been the stress I was working under to get my research paper done, but this book did not help me in the least. It seems to be specifically geared to people who write research papers for a living, not a beginner. "

" A wonderful resource for writers and teachers of writers. Booth and his companions write in a friendly, approachable style that makes reading a pleasure. Just as easy to read in during weekday office hours as it is during a saturday morning on the couch. "

" excellent guide for beginners. "

" A comprehensive walk through of writing academic compositions. "

" I wish I'd read this freshman year instead of waiting until it was time to start my senior thesis--my college career would have gone much more smoothly. No one told me! But now I'm telling you: BUY THIS BOOK if you are or will be engaged in any kind of academic research or writing. "

" Mades life easier when you are new in research writting "

" While there was a lot of fiction, this was a fantastic read and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical fiction and alternate history novels. "

" I never realized how incredibly interesting the chase after John Wilkes Booth was after he assassinated Abraham Lincoln! Great book! "

" A creative retelling of the events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln told from the viewpoint of John Surratt, one of Booth’s supposed coconspirators. Or was he? "

" This book was pretty good. Since the book is historical fiction you have to take everything with a grain of salt, but I found the story line believable. Most of the historical aspects of the novel seem to be accurate. "

" slightly interesting if you are a history nerd but pretty boring otherwise. "
