Thirty-five years ago, the four authors of this book addressed the
problems of validity in social science research. They were interested
in new and unused methods for obtaining information. The original
edition and an expanded version have often been cited as justification
for using novel means to supplement, if not replace, conventional
techniques, especially survey and archival research. Illustrations
abound in this book. While the novelty of the illustrations will keep
many a graduate student amused, the more serious purpose is to
authorize and motivate ingenuity in obtaining information. Even more
fundamental is the strategy of combining very different methods so
that research results can, by triangulation, withstand "threats to
validity" that so frequently invalidate single-measure, conventional
research.
