It discusses with a wealth of illustration and insight such subjects as the organization of the intellectual worker's time, materials, and his life; the integration of knowledge and the relation of one's specialty to general knowledge; the choice and use of reading; the discipline of memory; the taking of notes, their classification and use; and the preparation and organization of the final production.?The Sign This audiobook is skillfully read by Joel Richards, and was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
