The book is very valuable indeed for students and teachers as well as for researchers for grasping the very essence of social research. It is read at one breath and inspires one for further thinking over the matter and over the topic one has chosen for a future research. Unlike other books of this kind this work managed to avoid being too much dogmatic and rather invited a reader to think over the issues covered rather than take them for granted.

I recommend this book also for journalists. It has very good chapters how to analyze data.

This course is required for one of my classes at the School of Public Health at Tulane University. The professor seems to think that we should find the long passages with long stories amusing. Frankly, though, the stories only make for long reading. If you are new to the subject then the stories help drive the concept home. If, however, the material is overlapping with other subjects studied in the past, it will seem boring.

This book is designed for Graduate research work but is extremely helpful for undergraduate work as well. The author has a sense of humor which helps in understanding complicated material. The examples are perfect! The book guides you through strategic planning of your paper, layout and final product. I'm certain it will lead to quality A+ writing & impressing the professors - just remember to always spell & grammer check! :)

I bought this book for a research class. I found the chapters were fun and easy to read and understand the material. Plus up-to-date events used as samples in the book.
