About The Practice Of Social Research - Standalone Book
Product Description NOTE: This book is a standalone book and will not include any access codes. A straightforward, comprehensive, and approachable guide to research as practiced by social scientists, the Fourteenth Edition of this \"gold-standard\" book gives readers the tools they need to apply research concepts practically, as both a researcher and a consumer. The author emphasizes the process by showing readers how to design and construct projects, introducing the various observation modes in use today, and answering critical questions about research methods-such as how to conduct online surveys and analyze both qualitative and quantitative data. Review �Babbie is the foundational text that all other Research Methods texts are compared to.� "I wanted to tell you that I found your book very easy to read and understand. I have had many text books that have made it so very hard to understand simple concepts. You write in a way that is logical and easy to understand even complex topics." About the Author Dr. Earl Babbie is the Campbell Professor Emeritus in Behavioral Sciences at Chapman University in Southern California. He taught sociology at the University of Hawaii from 1968 through 1979, took time off from teaching and research to write full time for eight years and then joined the Chapman University faculty in 1987. Credited with defining research methods for the social sciences, Dr. Babbie has written several texts -- including THE BASICS OF SOCIAL RESEARCH -- as well as numerous research articles and monographs. For 25 years he has been active in the American Sociological Association, where he served on the executive committee. He also is a past president of the Pacific Sociological Association and the California Sociological Association. Dr. Babbie received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley.
