Dull academic thread. Sorry.

SPRU 101 is about to start... So some thoughts on PhD reading suggestions.

Basic issue I'm struggling with is new PhDs need to build a *lot* of skills very quickly. What should they read?

So some suggested reading, comments welcome. 1/n
2/n
Starting with basic data skills. The books to just buy and slowly work through.

First the classic, and still the best.
3/n

This is new but will be a classic. Especially as it teaches basic programming on R with the really important and under emphasised skills in presenting data. I love how it makes you think about what readers need and want, not what you want to say.
4/n

This is another new one. Simple, clear, to the point. Links data skills to practical skills.
10/10 would recommend
