Mon, 5 Aug 2019 | Review by: Anita C.

This book is designed to make reading it pleasurable and effective. Reading is made easier by having plenty of sub-headings, bubbles for definitions of terms on the same page, boxed examples, 'What have you learned so far?' summaries at the end of each chapter, and activities to help make the topics personally meaningful. This is an excellent reference (+ activity) book to support new researchers in the social sciences and education.
