Great, easy-to-read and follow:
This book was recommended to me by one of my professors for my MBA thesis. It helps simplify the process of researching a project that seems overwhelming or complicated by providing clear, logical, easy to understand and follow steps. It provides examples that really help grasp the main sections in the thesis (literature review, methodology, results, discussion).

I edit theses and dissertations for a living, and every other one comes from a student with a bad advisor.

I agree with the notion that the book is just too specific. It's probably a good resource for someone that is in the field... more info
