For courses in Research Methods in Political Science and Sociology, and in Qualitative Research Methods Raising questions, rather than giving answers Qualitative Research Methods for the Social Sciences is written with the recognition that different researchers in different fields each bring their own needs and intentions to the process. Authors Howard Lune and Bruce Berg aim to guide the reader through the process of research planning, carrying out one's projects, and making sense of the results. Each chapter provides examples of the best and worst approaches to the kinds of questions that arise with each form of research, as well as discussions of what makes an approach successful or not. Like its predecessors, the 9th Edition stresses the importance of ethics in research and respect for subjects.

Pages Between Ages is a collection of short stories by two people from different generations. The stories cover topics such as sports, art, education, families, and life in general. This collection is unique not only because of the age difference of the writers, but in form--it includes a series of dialogues or vignettes between each story that are the result of the conversations the writers had during the collaboration process. They allow readers to see and enjoy what the writers were thinking and talking about along the way.
