Do It Yourself Social ResearchEdizione 4

Over four decades this bestselling introduction has been used by innumerable students, professionals and community groups to kick start their social research projects.

Always emphasising the importance of a spirit of inquiry, it demystifies the research process, covering all the basics of: where to start; how to manage a research project; methods, techniques and resources; digital tools; interpretation, analysis and reporting. This fourth edition has been thoroughly revised without losing its classic content, including clarity about relational research ethics and what technology can (and can't) contribute to the research process.

With its hands-on, no-nonsense approach, Do It Yourself Social Research is an essential resource for anyone doing social research in sociology, social work, education, health, welfare, not-for-profit, community development and many other fields.

All three of Yoland Wadsworth's best-selling books have been brought together in this Routledge trilogy to offer for the first time a coherent body of work addressing the pressing needs of people to 'inquire their way' to the future.
