    S.H. (Steve Hayes) is writing a book? What field ?


    has he published books before? Who else (here) is a real author?


    __________________________

    So I'd like to ask aueers, especially those who are or have ever
    worked in an academic environment for views on sentences like the
    following:

    "This chapter locates the book conceptually and methodologically. It considers..."
    <-------- Awful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    I think something like the following might be less vague and nebulous:

    "In this chapter I will set out the conceptual framework and
    methodology used in this study. I will consider..."

    Which do you prefer? Any other suggestions?



    ------------- The latter is almost as bad... Probably worse.
