This text provides balanced coverage of quantitative and qualitative methods of social research with a unique "behind the scenes" approach: chapters are built upon focal research pieces and excerpts from real research projects, and present the insights and perspectives of workers conducting real-world research. The text guides students through the many stages of social research--from selecting a researchable question and designing a study to selecting the best method of data analysis for a particular study--and prepares them for the ethical issues and problems that they may face along the way.Adler, Emily Stier is the author of 'How It's Done An Invitation to Social Research With Infotrac', published 2002 under ISBN 9780534588144 and ISBN 053458814X.
