Covering qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods, the book focuses on matching research questions to appropriate methods. Offering concise, balanced coverage, this book clearly explains the underlying principles of social research and shows you how to put this understanding into practice.  

The third edition includes:

  • A range of additional student learning features
  • A brand new companion website including full-text journal articles, additional case studies and video tutorials.
