About the Author
I am a Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I teach courses and write about research design, qualitative methodology, and mixed methods research. I have been at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for 30 years and have authored or co-authored 19 books in original copy and in editions. Most of these books address research methods and methodologies. In addition, I founded the Office of Qualitative and Mixed Methods Research on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus that provided campus support for scholars incorporating qualitative and mixed methods research into projects for extramural funding. I have also held the Clifton Research Endowed Chair at Nebraska.
I served as the founding and Co-Editor for the new Sage journal, the Journal of Mixed Methods Research, and I have been an Adjunct Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Michigan and have been a consultant to the Veterans Affairs Health Science Research Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I was selected to be a Senior Fulbright Scholar and visited South Africa in October, 2008, bringing mixed methods concepts to universities and studying documentaries about AIDS victims and families. In February 2012 I will visit Thailand as a Senior Fulbright Scholar on mixed methods. I play the piano, write short stories, and actively engage in sports.

Format:Paperback
Research Design by Creswell is a life saver for anyone who is starting to carry out research! It includes valuable step by step information to guide you through the process (from thinking up your idea to literature searching, designing your study and writing it up at the end). It also includes important points about what you need to include in a research proposal and the imperative ethical issues to you need to consider. This book is for all types of research design - quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods. I'm just starting out on my MSc. Dissertation in Psychology and already this book has been extremely helpful. I'm glad I have it for the rest of the journey! I fully recommend it to both undergraduates and masters students.

Format:Paperback
Easily the most useful book I used for my undergraduate dissertation. So much so I recommended it to all my friends and lent it to others. It sets things out clearly and made things really easy to understand. Some areas were more in-depth than what a undergraduate needs, but what I did need to know I understood thanks to this book. A recommendation for any who is writing their dissertation!
