Where should one begin, and then build stone on stone until one has a solid construction." - Elin Lovise Folven Gjengedal, Norwegian University of Life Sciences "The language of the book is very accessible. It is easy and attractive to read. There are excellent sections on writing CV, networking etc. The online resources are great." - Katerina Ridge, University of Surrey "I really like the activities for students which can be tailored and used within my own teaching.

Practical resource, many useful aspects that can be used and adapted to embed within our curriculum." - Suzanne Fergus, University of Hertfordshire "A thoroughly accessible text, both for academics and students alike. Highly recommended." - Philippe Wilson, De Montfort University
