This successful text on carrying out research in 'real world' situations has been thoroughly revised and updated in order to make it as useful as possible to teachers and students from a range of behavioral and social science disciplines.

  • Provides more coverage of qualitative methods.
  • Pedagogical material has been updated to include a glossary and detailed cross-referencing across chapters.
