The A-Z is a collection of 94 entries ranging from qualitative research techniques to statistical testing and the practicalities of using the Internet as a research tool. Alphabetically arranged in accessible, reader-friendly formats, the shortest entries are 800 words long and the longest are 3000.

The book: Answers the demand for a practical, fast and concise introduction to the key concepts and methods in social research; Aims to supply students with impeccable information that can be used in essays, exams and research projects; Demystifies a field that students often find daunting; This is a refreshing book on social research methods, which understands the pressures that modern students face in their work-load and seeks to supply an authoritative study guide to the field. It should fulfil a long-standing need in undergraduate research methods courses for an un-patronizing, utterly reliable aid to making sense of research methods.

Industry Reviews

`I think the book is likely to appeal to a wider audience than students, as medical colleagues and those less familiar with social research attempt to find out more about the terms and concepts they encounter' - Medical Sociology News
