*A practical guide for students with help on planning, writing and defending a dissertation
*Provides samples of accepted proposals and dissertations
Increasing numbers of adults are enrolling in doctoral programs, but their earlier college lives often do not prepare them for the rules of academic game. Many have no idea what a dissertation proposal or an accepted dissertation looks like, how it gets that way, or what options are available to them. There is a real need for explicit information on what this highly complex and interactive, social and political process involves.
The book is a practical guide for students who need help in progressing from the decision to write a dissertation to the planning, writing and defending of it. It includes samples of proposals and dissertations that have been accepted and data drawn from a number of sources, including focus groups with doctoral students and graduates and responses to an open-ended questionnaire from doctoral students across the United States.

《沉思錄》，古羅馬唯一一位哲學家皇帝馬可‧奧勒留所著，這本自己與自己的十二卷對話，內容大部分是他在鞍馬勞頓中所寫，是斯多葛派哲學（斯多亞哲學）的一個里程碑。《沉思錄》來自于作者對身羈宮廷的自身和自己所處混亂世界的感受，追求一種擺脫了激情和欲望、冷靜而達觀的生活。馬可‧奧勒留在書中闡述了靈魂與死亡的關系，解析了個人的德行、個人的解脫以及個人對社會的責任，要求常常自省以達到內心的平靜，要摒棄一切無用和瑣屑的思想、正直地思考。而且，不僅要思考善、思考光明磊落的事情，還要付諸行動。

Most of us have no idea what’s really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know—like that physical activity boosts your brain power. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget—and so important to repeat new information? Is it true that men and women have different brains?
In Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule—what scientists know for sure about how our brains work—and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives.
