This innovative volume provides an engaging and humorous presentation of various research concepts, methods and applications employed in the social sciences. The authors discuss not only "how to" but "why" in their coverage of major research designs, techniques and data analysis strategies.

CaseBASE's Statistical Browser is based on information taken from chapters 10 and 11. Very good, not too technical explanation of descriptive statistics and their application.
