  This is the second fully revised and updated edition of a highly praised text introducing students to sociological research methods. Social Studies Review found the first edition 'an extremely valuable book' which was lucid, straightforwardly written'. Research Methods is written for the non-specialist, yet introduces all the central issues of social research. Each method discussed is followed by suggested activities which provide some practical experience of social research, aiming to stimulate a genuinely critical response to published studies. In this new edition of Research Methods (including an expanded introduction) the author provides a concise but extremely thorough guide for anyone facing these issues for the first time. 'While the text is accessible it is not simplistic ...this is a very useful book which will assist many beginning students ...the appendix to this volume should be essential reading.' Network
