It addresses many of the issues that students encounter and offers excellent practical advice. It is the best text on this topic I have seen. - Patrick White, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of Leicester, UK Clearly-written and well-organized, this book is an excellent, introductory text covering a broad scope of research methods for beginning students. - Gerardo Marti, L. Richardson King Associate Professor of Sociology, Davidson College, USA 'I became really engaged with this text from the offset.
