Review:
"This book is written in a clear and concise style. Further, the material is presented plainly and in such a way that learning becomes fun and productive for students. Extensively revised, updated, and edited chapters, Group Research Design is now structured around one-group designs and two-group designs, rather than on the three knowledge-level categories: exploratory, descriptive, and explanatory. This organization makes it much easier for the students to understand the logic of research designs. This book not only provides students of social work research the knowledge they need in their journey to become good social scientists, but also the tools to develop effective habits necessary towards this purpose. After all, as it has been said often: 'practice makes perfect.' -Sonu Chandiram, Biz India
