With more than three-quarters of a million copies sold since its first
publication, The Craft of Research has helped generations of
researchers at every level—from first-year undergraduates to
advanced graduate students to research reporters in business and
government—learn how to conduct effective and meaningful research.
Conceived by seasoned researchers and educators Wayne C. Booth,
Gregory G. Colomb, and Joseph M. Williams, this fundamental work
explains how to find and evaluate sources, anticipate and respond to
reader reservations, and integrate these pieces into an argument that
stands up to reader critique. The fourth edition has been thoroughly
but respectfully revised by Joseph Bizup and William T. FitzGerald. It
retains the original five-part structure, as well as the sound advice
of earlier editions, but reflects the way research and writing are
taught and practiced today. Its chapters on finding and engaging
sources now incorporate recent developments in library and Internet
research, emphasizing new techniques made possible by online databases
and search engines. Bizup and FitzGerald provide fresh examples and
standardized terminology to clarify concepts like argument, warrant,
and problem. Following the same guiding principle as earlier
editions—that the skills of doing and reporting research are not
just for elite students but for everyone—this new edition retains
the accessible voice and direct approach that have made The Craft of
Research a leader in the field of research reference. With updated
examples and information on evaluation and using contemporary
sources, this beloved classic is ready for the next generation of
researchers.
