About this title

Synopsis

This revised and expanded edition of a best-selling text incorporates the latest developments in social research. The aim of the book remains the same: to bridge the gap between theory and methods in social research, each of which is essential to understanding the dynamics of social relations. Additions to each chapter do further justice to ideas on the research process in general and aspects of its practice in particular. Chapter summaries, questions for reflection and signposts to further reading are incorporated into a textbook format.
