I am delighted to see this third edition." -- David Collier 20050216 "This book is for the generalist, someone not versed in statistical or methodological terms and concepts but who wants a way into the world of research in an acessible and readable form. The beauty of this book is that it allows the reader a definition of terms in a precise and non-technical form." -- Antony Billinghurst, Senior Research Officer of the Department for Work and Pensions 20060216
