Description
Social Research Methods, second Canadian edition, provides students with the conceptual building blocks and essential tools for conducting quantitative and qualitative research. Tackling complex, subtle, and methodological issues in ways that require reflection rather than regurgitation, the text challenges students to think freely, critically, and creatively. This new second edition includes updated information on sampling software, enhanced discussion of historical context and feminist methodology, and a new introductory chapter that reflects fascinating and controversial issues within the discipline. Social Research Methods illuminates fundamental concepts in a way that will engage the Canadian student.

Editorial Reviews

". . void of unnecessary jargon and not pretentious from an academic standpoint. . . .I would rate the writing style as 'above average'." --Tracey Peter, University of Manitoba
