Industry Reviews

Concise and to the point. This is a highly useful methods book for approaching and teaching research on society and culture from start to finish, between qualitative and quantitative approaches. -- Robert Hafner This brilliant book offers an authoritative expose of all major aspects of empirical social research. The authors balance consideration for detail, necessary for hands-on research, with general methodological discussion, and show how both are necessary to achieve research excellence. -- Rasmus Helles This book has the potential to be a market leader. Seale put together a comprehensive collection of chapters that inspires students to take their classroom examination of methods out into the real world. This book moves ahead of many others by explaining concepts in a way that actively encourages students to engage with them and visualize how they can be used with actual problems. The authors address students directly on a personal level, rather than lecturing, which turns the book into the 'story of methods'. Such an experience means that chapters on theory and ethics draw students into everyday life reassuring them that these are important topics to consider within actual research. -- Grant Coates
