When a dissertation crosses my desk, I usually want to grab it by its metaphorical lapels and give it a good shake. "You know something!" I would say if it could hear me. "Now tell it to us in language we can understand!"
Since its publication in 2005, From Dissertation to Book has helped thousands of young academic authors get their books beyond the thesis committee and into the hands of interested publishers and general readers. Now revised and updated to reflect the evolution of scholarly publishing, this edition includes a new chapter arguing that the future of academic writing is in the hands of young scholars who must create work that meets the broader expectations of readers rather than the narrow requirements of academic committees.
At the heart of From Dissertation to Book is the idea that revising the dissertation is fundamentally a process of shifting its focus from the concerns of a narrow audience--a committee or advisors--to those of a broader scholarly audience that wants writing to be both informative and engaging. William Germano offers clear guidance on how to do this, with advice on such topics as rethinking the table of contents, taming runaway footnotes, shaping chapter length, and confronting the limitations of jargon, alongside helpful timetables for light or heavy revision.

Germano draws on his years of experience in both academia and publishing to show writers how to turn a dissertation into a book that an audience will actually enjoy, whether reading on a page or a screen. Germano also acknowledges that not all dissertations can or even should become books and explores other, often overlooked, options, such as turning them into journal articles or chapters in an edited work.
With clear directions, engaging examples, and an eye for the idiosyncrasies of academic writing, From Dissertation to Book reveals to recent PhDs the secrets of careful and thoughtful revision--a skill that will be truly invaluable as they add "author" to their curriculum vitae.

I'm not sure what they're selling.
Gimbal extractor works. One of these guys needs to come down here and show me how the installer works. There is a driver for the bearing with pin but the driver rod itself has no hole like shown in the picture. How do you miss that?

Good value, very useful for go kart wiring
Size: 100ft, Style: 6C-18AWG
It's a good spool to have around to wire lights and things on the go karts. Also came in handy when I had to patch a bit of melted wire harness on the tail of the old Dodge.

Beware! Very thick wire
Size: 50ft, Style: 6C-18AWG
I'm not going to ding the product, because it's totally what it says it is. I didn't look at the diagrams to see that this wire is 10mm wide. Almost half an inch. Waaaay to thick for the project I needed it for.

Fair product
Size: 30ft, Style: 6C-18AWG
nice product good price, the only issue I had was the sleeve was very loose on the wires so doesn't really hold the wires in place.
