Reviews of the previous edition
This is an excellent text. It is well-written, comprehensive, and authoritative. It will undoubtedly establish itself as the textbook of choice for introductory research methods courses in sociology and other social sciences. It contains enough substance and detail to be a continuing guide for students following more advanced courses... It hits the right balance of substance, authority and ease of access, and I am sure that it will be a great success (John Scott, University of Essex )
This is a remarkably interesting, attractive and accessible text on research methods. I'm impressed with Bryman's ability to move easily from quantitative to qualitative methods, as well as his efforts to move beyond that divide. The book not only has all the basic information, but lots of interesting tidbits in the text and numerous boxes. (George Ritzer, University of Maryland )

Format:Paperback
This is the best, and most comprehensive guide to social science research methods currently available. It is extremely clear with plenty of examples and a user-friendly layout. It is very up-to-date and well written. The author is an established expert on methodology who has made important original contributions to the development of research methods. For most purposes, the only book you need on social research.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a university students studying sociology and wanted a book which explained the ins and outs of research methods, and this certainly did!
The content is thorough and very understandable, and it also has a great section explaining what all the terms mean which are great to reference!

not too bad
Bryman is a perfect book for referal however it does assume prior sociologiacal knowledge and does tend to use specialised language with no explanation. Read more
