Product Description
Review
“This wonderfully comprehensive book tells you all you need to know about doing applied social research, whether you are a newcomer or an established researcher. It includes all the crucial bits that standard research methods textbooks leave out: what happens after all the data collection and analysis – and why do it at all? Colin Robson writes in a friendly and accessible style, very much in the real world, and the book is so well structured that it is easy to dip in and out, to take exactly what you want from it.” Professor Sonia Jackson, University of London
“This book is the best general resource that I know of for those wanting to conduct research in the “real world.” The writing is clear and accessible, the coverage is remarkable for its comprehensiveness, and the focus is admirably practical.” Professor Joseph Maxwell, George Mason University

Im currently in my third year of a degree in sociology and this book is the one that I couldnt do without. It is infinitely helpful and i would recommend it to anyone either studying or considering studying sociology or psychology.

Format:Paperback
Briefly... the book examines challenges and methods for studying in the real world (as opposed to an experimental setting) taking in such topics as qualitative approaches, mixed-methods, and action research.
What was so welcome about the book is that it reads like a conversation with someone who is in a place to advise you without lecturing - and is as surprisingly pleasant read. Very useful and very readable.
