Praise for the Second Edition:

"An excellent resource for people who are undertaking research, or for increasing understanding of the research process – such as for students or practitioners undertaking CPD. It is attractively presented – the writing is confident and clear. It has clear signposts for reading and using. I liked the activities, and case studies, which enable the reader to test their understanding, and also make it a real world handbook. I also thought the ‘top tips’ – which I look forward to testing out – were really helpful".
Miss Sue Macdonald, Education Research & Practice Development, Royal College of Midwives.

"The book offers comprehensive learning objectives and the students find the book easy to follow. Also, the web resources that can be found for the book are great".
Mr George Shaw, Jr., School of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of South Carolina.

"Gray’s text is an excellent text for social work students, actually one of the best books on research methods".
Professor Johann Gleich, Abteilung Köln, Katholische Hochschule Nordrhein-Westfalen.

"Provides a sensible real world view of research. It dispels the myth that research is a tidy, very organised process and shows how things can and do happen".
Ms Maria Burton, Dept of Health & Social Care, Sheffield Hallam University.

"This deals with the research process in a way that is accessible and enjoyable for students of all levels. The case studies, activities and ‘top tips’ provide context and help to bring the subject to life".
Mr Alex Gillett, Business School, University of Teesside.
