It is a classic research methods text. Pretty much everything you need is there and it is delivered in a straightforward and non-intimidating fashion. But, it also makes the scientific process relevant to the modern social work practitioner.

I want to give this seller a very genuine Thank You and A to infinity rating. It was a "used item" - that seller took great and accurate pictures of it - contained multiple delicate pieces. What I received was packaged like new, in a way that took time and care, and well protected to ensure it arrived as shown. As I unpacked everything, it felt like it was fresh from the store shelf. Keep up the great work, it's noticed and appreciated, and your effort made someone's day a little bit better.
