Reviews / Votes
A friendly introduction to key elements of the research process, this book covers many approaches to research and includes topics not covered in similar texts. Examples give application to the concepts addressed. Easy access to sections most useful for particular projects and references to further reading and published research consolidate particular points. -- Beverley HaleMore details
