Summary: Educational
Comment: The authors point out that methodology is at the heart of social science, that it is what distinguishes social science from journalism and social commentary. Four approaches to social research are covered in this book: experimentation, survey research, field research, and the use of available data.
In the beginning of the book the argument is made for the book's primary subject, i.e., the question of why study research methods is addressed.
From this introduction a segue is made into the nature of science and the logical foundations of social research in particular.
After this section, there follows a discussion on research design and the elements which are found therein.
In the third section of the book, one finds a discussion of the methods of data collection.
As would be expected, this is followed by a discussion of interpreting the results and presenting the findings.
This is an effective book on how to go about conducting social research. I recommend it.
