Excellent book. Easy to read. Easy to understand. Easy to find information. It made my first experience of doing research and then writing a paper easy to accomplish. I was glad the professor had picked this book.

In the introduction, the authors state "our goal is to provide readers with books that will deliver key practical information in an efficient, accessible style." The authors have clearly met their goal - the book is clearly written and the examples are engaging and interesting. As the authors are professors, I was very surprised by this.br /br /I used this book to update my knowledge of basic research, and it was perfect. I think it would also be an ideal introduction to research design for beginners.
