Bernard's goal is to help anthropology students learn research methods before they go out on their first expedition to collect data. His guide has been used as a textbook for courses on research methods since it appeared in 1988. His first message is that students do no have to, and should not, choose between qualitative and quantitative roads to their careers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
