Writing has a mysterious quality to it in academic work. Too many PhD students and scholars fear writing, and usually for the wrong reasons. Alexander Styhre reminds us that writing is based on reading, that the writing process can be managed, and that there is nothing mysterious about it. In this book, he has succeeded in capturing the problematics of crafting academic texts in a clear, informative, and vivid way. He is accessible without being naive; theoretically elegant without being patronizing; and personal without being self-congratulatory. Although his main audience is PhD students and early career post-docs, Styhres book offers an extremely useful resource for everyone engaged in academic writing. -- Janne Tienari, Aalto University, Helsinki
