The SAGE Handbook of Social Research Methods

Great resource book for introductory research methods. Students really like the chapters. -- Dr Bahadir Namdar * drupal *
Very clear, useful articles, especially for postgraduate students. Especially useful is the Bryman chapter ′End of the Paradigm Wars′. -- Dr Barbara Read * drupal *
Interesting mid-level discussion of research methods; includes examples from my field (education) but they are situated within the larger context of social science research. Thanks for this one! -- Dr Carolyn Riehl * drupal *
excellent selection of topics - good for advanced masters students -- Dr Daniel Valentine * drupal *
Give a great all round review of all aspects of social science, and despite its focus on sociology it appears generally applicable to other aspects of social sciences. -- Dr Eoin O'Malley * drupal *
Comprehensive text. Particularly interesting was the chapter on paradigms. Not as practical as expected, however, content is good. -- Dr Hannah McCabe * drupal *
This is an easy to read to text and I have adopted this as one of the key essential texts for this unit. -- Dr Palash Kamruzzaman * drupal *
simple to use and highly effective, especially for higher degree level. -- Miss Marie-Claire Blundell * drupal *
Under the current course design, this book, whilst an excellent text, is a step too far too soon for the students and can act only as a terciary reading text... which, if I am being honest, means it will be barely looked at. Consequently, whilst included in the reading list I cannot see it being used by anyone but me. The module is undr review though (for expansion) and it may take on greater promenance in the wider design. -- Mr Andrew Cropper * drupal *
Excellent book that is a vital component of any social research methods class. Covers a wide array of research topics in an accessible format. -- Mr Joe Fitzgerald * drupal *
This is an excellent text used to navigate students through the research process required for their ethical proposal and dissertation.

-- Mr Tabo Huntley * drupal *
Useful texts for understanding the different social research methods. -- Mrs Christiana Karayianni * drupal *
This book is useful as a reference guide for some of our students and would recommend that they can dip in and out of it, but it explores a range of issues and at level 2, i think some of the other text books are more accessible, such as the Henn, Weinstein and Foard book and also O leary. However, the book will remain on the reading list as supplemental for various sessions. -- Ms Charlotte Hargreaves * drupal *
I would highly recommend this book as it is easy to understand and covers all the main issues of social research. -- Ms Eva Mikuska * drupal *
