HERE'S WHAT YOUR COLLEAGUES HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE NEW THIRD EDITION:
"The writing style is wonderful! It is clear and engaging, as if he were talking directly to the students... Topics are covered very clearly, with a knack for pointing out the pitfalls in conducting or interpreting research." --Margaret Ruddy, The College of New Jersey
"I like the author's writing style including the level of the content material and its readability. ... I especially liked the Epilogue. I have never seen this type of presentation in any text. I felt it provided the students with a convenient "resting place" after the final chapter of the text,"-- William P. Smotherman, Binghamton University - SUNY
"This is the most complete and coherent synthesis of the most prominent issues in modern research methods. ... The author does a great job summarizing a broad, diversified, and contentious field." -- Brad Smith, University of South Carolina
"Goodwin makes research sound interesting and even fun (a challenge for me and for other instructors of undergraduate students). ... I routinely ask my students to give ratings of the textbook on a 10 point scale, and the average rating given to Goodwin's Second Edition is approximately a 9 .." -- Jason L. Hicks, Louisiana State University
"Coverage is good--some really important things are covered here that I've seen missing in other texts.--Thomas Joiner, Florida State University
