5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on scientific methods ever
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book. I went through an M.A. program at CA State University asking to be taught what was in this book, yet never being taught it. Then I got into an M.S. program at another CA State University and this book was the required text. I was stunned. It was everything I had been asking for during my M.A. program yet was never helped with. This book is so clear regarding the scientific method and how to use it, that I will keep this as a reference text for life. The writing of this book keeps a potentially dull topic lively but most importantly, this book is clear and well-organized. The tips it gives make it very clear how one goes about conducting research and producing a scientific paper. I HIGHLY recommend this book and wish I had been given it many years ago. I actually think this should be required reading for all high school students as it is very important information that everyone should know, not just as a designer, student, scientist, but also as a consumer and one who has to gauge what statistics mean in their own lives. If I ever teach, I will figure out a way to use this book as a required text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ashford University Course
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2011

The text is very informative and is in very good condition. I am pleased with all of the information contained in the book and the ability to apply it to the course study. It has never been clearer to me how important good, credible research is. Methods and terminology are those I am certain I will use in my professional pursuit of a career in the sociology field. Now it is possible for me to grasp what is credible research and what is simply 'just enough information' necessary to sell a product or an idea. I highly recommend this text.

As a single parent and a full time student new books are incredibly expensive. I am glad that I found this "slightly used" book at half of the price the college wanted to charge me for a new book. This book was in great shape!
