This a very valuable book for graduate students involved in social research classes that should be better. What keeps it from being a better product is the lack of a tough editor to cut out the excess verbiage, which is easily a third of the work. The authors, meanwhile, would be well advised to stick to their knitting and avoid offering gratuitous editorial comments, such as their support for testing on animals. When you cut through all the brush, there are some important insights, but it's hard a mighty tough slog.

Just wanted to say that this was an excellent and superbly crafted textbook.

Well structured and accessible, it successfully tackles the broad discipline of research methods in social relations with plenty of real-world examples to aid and supplement interpretation of the concepts presented.

This text covers the material in a logical and well organized manner. It is an excellent way to learn about research methods or to review. clear definitions are given for each concept and review questions allow the reader to test knowledge of what they have read after each section and also at the end of each chapter. The examples of research studies brings this book to life and illustrates the concepts as you learn them.
