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.

Measure first saves time!
Color: White, Size: 6 FT
I liked the product but didn’t fit my vanity and my wife said to send it back that it wasn’t needed for her hair dryers. Great idea just wrong for me.

Reliable, convenient, and efficient power strip
Size: 10FT, Color: Black-20W
The HHSOET 20W Fast Charging Power Strip is fantastic! With 2 AC plugs and 2 USB ports including a USB-C, it covers all my charging needs in one compact device. The 20W fast charging feature works perfectly for my phone and other gadgets, cutting down on charging time significantly. The 10ft power cord is a great length, giving me plenty of flexibility to place the strip exactly where I need it without worrying about outlet proximity. The sleek black design looks modern and fits well in both my home office and living room. Build quality feels solid and durable, and the power strip feels safe with good surge protection. Overall, this is a reliable, convenient, and efficient power strip that I highly recommend for anyone looking to streamline their charging setup. A definite 5-star product!
