Guided by the precept that to understand any phenomenon well, it is necessary to start by looking at it in broad, nonspecialized terms, Robert A Stebbins takes the reader through the process of exploratory research in an easy-to-read style providing the student or researcher with a complete reference for carrying out this type of research.
Robert A. Stebbins, FRSC, is Faculty Professor in the Department of Sociology at the
University of Calgary. He received his Ph.D. in 1964 from the University of Minnesota.
