About this title

Review:

"I love the approach of this book. The authors make research come alive through stories that illustrate the methods presented in the chapters. The hands-on exercises and end-of-chapter discussion questions generate interest and teach students to learn by doing." --Linda Keena, University of Mississippi "This text is completely unique to the field. It is easy to read and comprehend, and does a great job of clearly introducing the mechanics of how to perform research." --John Tahiliani, Worcester State University
