OverviewThis title contains a book & CD. Over the past few decades there has been a major shift in research methodology - away from technicist to more contextual and pragmatic approaches. This is reflected in a greater emphasis on interdisciplinary and applied research skills, the concurrent use of qualitative and quantitative methods, and a more sophisticated understanding of the epistemological grounding of research. This book incorporates these new trends while also providing comprehensive coverage of the full range of established research approaches and techniques. Full Product DetailsAuthor: D. Hook , J.
