Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. '[Research for Development] is well-written and, at every stage, is well-documented with practical examples. The simplicity with which it is written adds to its value in that non-professional persons get well-aquainted with the research process. Every chapter in the book ends with highlighting of the main points made in that chapter.A further strength of the book is the inclusion of an appendix with a list of websites that deal with issues in the area of development research.the simplicity of its organization and message should appeal to people/researchers across disciplines' - Pakistan Development Review 'Research for Development achieves the near impossible: it provides vast quantities of useful guidance for almost anyone involved in research for development regardless of the size of your research project or your role within that project' - Arvac Bulletin 'Written by professional researchers, this immensely practical book provides development workers with a more research-oriented point of view, so that they can avoid mistakes in the design of programmes.
