This book saved me in graduate school. It taught me something I really should have learned already but hadn't: How to read an academic paper, and how to write one.

Her chapter on how to read an academic paper is wonderful: she shows you step by step how to quickly preview a paper and write a summary of what you imagine it will be about, so you can use that information to decide whether or not you even need to read it. She then shows you how to read a paper without taking notes, and then she has questions to answer about the paper you just read. After reading this book I was finally able to read a paper and truly understand it, not just take random notes about it.

I recommend this book for high school, college, or graduate school students. A wonderful book!
