Review: This book is primarily for those anticipating research in social science disciplines and applied fields where methods of social science research is used, but it would be useful for students in other fields who wish to carry out research using these methods. The book concentrates on research where the focus is on people, what they do and how we can understand what’s going on. There are chapters on: making preparations (preliminaries, approaches to research, developing your ideas, selecting the methods of collecting data), doing it (the practicalities of data collection), and making something of it (analysing and interpreting your findings, writing the report).
