It provides readers with helpful and comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the research process and is both pragmatic and academically challenging. Its main strength is the way in which it guides and scaffolds the reader through the practical elements of their research, whilst also engaging the reader with key methodological, conceptual and ethical issues related to undertaking a research project.
