The book will continue to underpin research methods teaching across the social sciences, and to shape, guide and spur on the work of current and future generations of social researchers. * Richard Giulianotti, Professor of Sociology, Durham University *<br />This book is an indispensable guide for every social science student, introducing the fundamental principles and underlying theories of the subject, while also offering a practical toolkit for carrying out social research. * Hannah Russell, MA Student in Social Research (Social Policy), University of Birmingham *
