Recensione:

Janet Ruane has written the most lively and lucid introductory methods book I ve ever read. The book is filled with contemporary examples that will engage the beginning student while providing a thorough and memorable grounding in the conduct of social research.

Edward J. Hackett, Arizona State University

Finally a well written, non–intimidating, down–to–earth beginners methods textbook. Ruane truly fills a void in the literature. Her book will delight both teachers and students.

Sophia P. Tsakraklides, Temple University

Essentials provides a basis for making research methods accessible and, more important, interesting to students. Ruane s no–nonsense approach, real–life examples, and avoidance of jargon–laden explanations allow students to learn, understand, and appreciate research methods in spite of themselves Great book!
