Product Description
Product Description
Written in a clear, accessible and lively style, this text offers a comprehensive introduction as well as a practical guide to the planning, implementation and presentation of social research. Social research is introduced in a systematic way, following the logical sequence, which a student of the social science would follow in the design and implementation of a research project. The material is presented in a direct and humourous style, and the emphasis is on explanation with no assumption made about the reader's background in research issues.

Format:Hardcover
The book contained everything I wanted for my first social science research project at degree level. I appreciated the style and plain English, where terminology allowed! It linked well with course material.
Format:Hardcover
This is a very useful book for both the novice researcher and the person writing up a quantitative study. I found the style of the book easy to read and understand and the chapters were well formulated.
