About this title

Review

"? Helping social work students see that research and practice are not distinct, but essential to one another, is the great task of social work educators today. Finding the workable linguistic and conceptual bridge for students between the familiarity of practice concepts and the seeming formality and strangeness of the language of research is the key. Allen Rubin and Earl Babbie have just made that job a whole lot easier for all of us." "I particularly enjoyed reading this text. The writing style was quite comfortable and maintained my interest throughout. The topics flowed very easily from one to another with transitions that were logical and informative. I would describe this manuscript to a colleague as one that all social workers should read as much as it provides the logic behind the reason for social work research. I shall ensure that my students have access to this text once it is published."
