About this title

Synopsis

This comprehensive guide emphasizes the cultural value of research and displays a real-world emphasis by showing the important role that research plays in different industries and careers. While the text thoroughly covers traditional research methods, it pays special attention to using interviews, ethnographies, government agencies, the telephone, and the Internet as research tools. Five sample student papers illustrate different approaches to topic selection, research sources, and organization, and provide students with examples of five documentation formats?MLA, APA, CMS, and two versions of CBE.

Review

"Much more timely and more helpful than many other textbooks currently on the market."

"Timely, relevant, and easily read."

"Takes research out of the classroom and makes it not an academic exercise, but a practical life skill."
