Social research: Issues, Methods and Research

This fully revised and updated popular text successfully bridges the gap between theory and methods in social research, clearly illuminating these essential components for understanding the dynamics of social relations.

The book is divided into two parts, with part one examining the issues and perspectives in social research and part two setting out the methods and processes. Updates to this edition include:

• A new chapter on case study research
• A new concluding chapter
• Links to additional websites and IT applications that are integrated throughout the book
• Updated experiential examples and scenarios
• More international examples

With contributions from Beth Perry (University of Salford) and Carole Sutton (University of Plymouth).
