Review from previous edition Perfectly organized and precisely written, Bryman's Social Research Methods remains the essential text. 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 *
