Product Description
“Janet Ruane has written the most lively and lucid introductory methods book I’ve ever read. The book is filled with contemporary examples that will engage the beginning student while providing a thorough and memorable grounding in the conduct of social research.”
Edward J. Hackett, Arizona State University
“Finally a well written, non–intimidating, down–to–earth beginners methods textbook. Ruane truly fills a void in the literature. Her book will delight both teachers and students.”
Sophia P. Tsakraklides, Temple University
“Essentials provides a basis for making research methods accessible and, more important, interesting to students. Ruane’s no–nonsense approach, real–life examples, and avoidance of jargon–laden explanations allow students to learn, understand, and appreciate research methods in spite of themselves …Great book!”
Maureen Outlaw, Providence College
