All students and professors need to write, and many struggle to finish their stalled dissertations, journal articles, book chapters, or grant proposals. Writing is hard work and can be difficult to wedge into a frenetic academic schedule. In this practical, light-hearted, and encouraging book, Paul Silvia explains that writing productively does not require innate skills or special traits but specific tactics and actions. Drawing examples from his own field of psychology, he shows readers how to overcome motivational roadblocks and become prolific without sacrificing evenings, weekends, and vacations. After describing strategies for writing productively, the author gives detailed advice from the trenches on how to write, submit, revise, and resubmit articles, how to improve writing quality, and how to write and publish academic work.

在中国现代思想史上，胡适作为新文化运动的一面旗帜，占有不可动摇的领袖地位。20世纪上半叶，胡适与鲁迅、冯友兰、林语堂、吴稚晖、赵元任、梁漱溟、钱玄同等学人，在学术路径的取舍上产生了前所未有的碰撞与融合，为新文化运动开拓了广阔的学术领域。胡适作为当时“暴得大名”的学者，他的政治思想、学术观点与鲁迅、冯友兰、梁漱溟等人究竟有哪些异同，一直是学界普遍关注但至今未有定论的问题。周质平先生任教于普林斯顿大学东亚系，多年来致力于胡适思想的研究及胡适著述的整理工作，是海内外公认的研究胡适的权威学者。在本书中，作者通过考证相关史料，对以上问题提出了自己的观点，对于现代中国背景下的胡适思想进行了深刻的阐述与总结。
