Principles of Research Design in the Social Sciences (Hardcover)

Principles of Research Design in the Social Sciences is an essential buy for students who know what they want to study, but who have yet to decide how best to study it. This book does not aim to provide a set of rigid recipes for social scientists - as many methodology books do - rather it is intended to stimulate them to think about the issues involved when deciding upon their research design.

This book will prove indispensable to students of all levels in the social sciences embarking upon a research project, and also to experienced researchers looking for a fresh perspective on their object of study.
