I felt this book offered a number of strong suggestions for people seeking to produce professional and research supported looks into virtually any field. With focus on systematic methods to analyze, research, review and cultivate mastery, this book offers readers perspective. ( )

Short Review

I thought that Gross could have gone into more detail on the specifics of research, however on reflection that is not within the scope of the book.
Overall it does a decent job of showing what resources are available for scholars who are not affiliated with a traditional academic institution. Littered amongst the text there are many examples and case studies of those who have successfully pursued independent scholarship.
As I said before, decent but nothing which you couldn't work out yourself with a few hours reflection and brainstorming.
