Doing your research project 5th ed.

"Since it was first published in the late 1980s, Doing Your Research Project has become something of a 'bible' for first-time researchers in social science. This third edition reflects advances in technology and methodology and positions the book to support researchers in the twenty-first century. However, the book's formula remains essentially the same because of its unmatched ability to deliver two key benefits: it will enable you to get through your first research projects successfully and without wasting lots of time in trial and error; in the process, it will help you to develop sound techniques and good practice which will serve you well in future research projects."--Jacket.
