| Summary |
"Since its first edition in 1985, Patrick McNeill's Research Methods has become a classic introductory text for students of sociology at A-level and in undergraduate courses. It is also invaluable for a range of specialists in disciplines such as education, business, social care and medicine who need a brief but authoritative account of how sociologists set about doing sociological research." "This new edition, co-authored with Steve Chapman, retains the clarity of style of the earlier editions and brings the content up to date in terms of: references to research studies; developments in relevant sociological theory; developments in research methodology; and new material on the presentation of research."--BOOK JACKET |
