Umberto Eco’s enduringly popular manual “How to Write a Thesis” is more than a guide for undergraduates; the book is a celebration of the magical process of self-realization.

A Guide to Thesis Writing and a Guide to Life

Writing and research manuals like Umberto Eco’s “How to Write a Thesis” offer a vision of our best selves, Hua Hsu wrote, in 2015.

"Flags of Latin American nations emerged as protest emblems. Trump officials have cast flag wavers as insurrectionists and [..] assume that they are not U.S. citizens. But for many who are, the flags represent pride in their roots & solidarity with immigrants targeted for deportation." @nytimes.com
