“Janet Ruane has written the most lively and lucid
introductory methods book I’ve ever read. The book is filled
with contemporary examples that will engage the beginning student
while providing a thorough and memorable grounding in the conduct
of social research.”
Edward J. Hackett, Arizona State University
“Finally a well written, non-intimidating, down-to-earth
beginners methods textbook. Ruane truly fills a void in the
literature. Her book will delight both teachers and
students.”
Sophia P. Tsakraklides, Temple University
“Essentials provides a basis for making research
methods accessible and, more important, interesting to students.
Ruane’s no-nonsense approach, real-life examples, and
avoidance of jargon-laden explanations allow students to learn,
understand, and appreciate research methods in spite of themselves
…Great book!”
Maureen Outlaw, Providence College
