""This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding and/or undertaking research in any field of inquiry. The accessible language, thoughtful analogies, balanced discussions of theory and practice, pertinent examples of published research, interactive reflections and guided practices, and tips for novice and experienced researchers make the text a superbly enjoyable and insightful read. The book does a great job clearing confusions emerging from inconsistencies across the research literature, providing a much-needed healthy atmosphere and solid ground to shape and discuss scholarly endeavors. The authors’ survey of current needs, especially by examining discussions at online professional fora and meeting them throughout the book, make the text authentic and useful to the audience. The metaphor of the tree, in addition to demonstrating the progression of conceptual frameworks to methods, connotes the liveliness of this wonderful text."" — Seyed Abdollah Shahrokni, PhD, Washington State University, USA
