By the time Umberto Eco published his best-selling novel The Name of the Rose, he was one of Italy's most celebrated intellectuals, a distinguished academic and the author of influential works on semiotics. Some years before that, in 1977, Eco published a little book for his students, How to Write a Thesis, in which he offered useful advice on all the steps involved in researching and writing a thesis -- from choosing a topic to organizing a work schedule to writing the final draft. Now in its twenty-third edition in Italy and translated into seventeen languages, How to Write a Thesis has become a classic. Remarkably, this is its first, long overdue publication in English.

Eco's approach is anything but dry and academic. He not only offers practical advice but also considers larger questions about the value of the thesis-writing exercise. How to Write a Thesis is unlike any other writing manual. It reads like a novel. It is opinionated. It is frequently irreverent, sometimes polemical, and often hilarious. Eco advises students how to avoid "thesis neurosis" and he answers the important question "Must You Read Books?" He reminds students "You are not Proust" and "Write everything that comes into your head, but only in the first draft." Of course, there was no Internet in 1977, but Eco's index card research system offers important lessons about critical thinking and information curating for students of today who may be burdened by Big Data.©2015 Massachusetts Institue of Technology Bildung Persönliche Entwicklung Persönlicher Erfolg Sprache, Vokabeln & Grammatik

Lots of information that is not applicable any more. Whole chapters about choosing libraries and how to travel there, or how to speak to librarians. And it only covers human sciences e.g. writing texts about texts. Natural sciences are just mentioned as describing experiments.

Die Methoden sind veraltet, aber auch die Zitiertechniken sind natürlich kaum übertragbar. Dadurch finde ich es absolut überteuert. Ich würde es gern zurück geben, muss aber erstmal rausfinden wie. und dann gehe ich lieber zur guten öffentlichenBib und höre für den selben Preis ein Jahr lang alles mögliche.

Evt. als Inspiration für Neueinsteiger_innen nett
