So far so good

I just started my course that uses this book, but thus far it seems well-written and easy to follow. Hopefully the whole book will be like that!

College Text Book

I purchased this book "used" for an upcoming fall class, and I was very pleased with the price and the fast delivery.

A good practical guide for social research

One of the good things about this book is that it contains many useful charts and diagrams. For example, the procedure of making guttman scales is explained in an easily understandable manner with example charts. Suggestions for further readings also contain many useful and recent materials. As a practical guide for social research, I recommend this book, because it is reader-friendly and does not require a lot of reading; everything needed is found at a glance.
