This volume takes seriously the goal of unifying qualitative and quantitative methods, providing a coherent framework for understanding research design in the social science.

Useful additional reading for students taking modules relating to Research processes. Gaining an understanding of research design is an essential aspect of research and this book will assist students to devlope their knowledge and understanding in this area.
Nice ideas, I just did not like the structure of the book for this particular course. I may re-consider it in the future.
an immensely useful guide for students developing their first piece of independent research, such as dissertations
The book provides perspectives of research within social sciences. It gives the student solid foundations when considering a data collection method approach through the underlying implications that go along with it.
I like this book. It provides a nice overview of common research designs in social sciences. It will only be adopted as supplementary however, as the larger all-encompassing research methods books seem to be more popular with the students.
With real life examples, Martini Maggetti uses a range of research methods in Social Science to make his book a worthy companion to researchers.
Great Book and absolutely essential for my course. Thanks!
