Handbook of Research Design and Social Measurement" If a student researcher had only one handbook on their bookshelf, Miller and SalkindÆs Handbook would certainly have to be it. With the updated material, the addition of the section on ethical issues (which is so well done that IÆm recommending it to the departmental representative to the university IRB), and a new Part 4 on "Qualitative Methods", the new Handbook is an indispensable resource for researchers." Dan Cover, Department of Sociology, Furman University The book considered a "necessity" by many social science researchers and their students has been revised and updated while retaining the features that made it so useful. The emphasis in this new edition is on the tools with which graduate students and more advanced researchers need to become familiar as well as be able to use in order to conduct high quality research. |
