“The chapters are organized around the choices students need to
make, rather than the types of research and issues specific to each
type—an important distinguishing feature that sets this book apart
from other research methods text…. In the current environment of
increasing interdisciplinarity, this text is very useful to
students who find themselves coming to social science research from
other disciplines, or to students in need of clear guidelines who
do not have the time to complete another entire research methods
course.” —Choice
