The book: is structured to allow the researcher to use it as a textbook or as a handbook; builds upon detailed examples; is accessible enough to be read by those with no prior knowledge or experience; is comprehensive enough to allow the user to design, conduct and analyze research; provides a complete foundation and a framework for a novice researcher to design, conduct and analyze research; will enable the reader to reach a level of theoretical and practical understanding that will allow them to comprehend and apply otherwise inaccessible specialist texts; has an associated website by the authors; includes a glossary of over 300 terms.
This student-friendly book covers social research at a level sufficient to successfully support the reader through a final year social science undergraduate dissertation project.
