"Social Research Methods is an essential handbook for students and professionals alike. Its unique approach to organizing material around the concept of validity ensures that every research conducted is sound and reliable. The broad range of topics covered, from Needleman's work on lead’s impact on IQ to the ethics of unobtrusive research, makes this book suitable for interdisciplinary research. Moreover, the clear and practical instructions on statistical methods such as the kappa coefficient and meta-analytic review make this book an ideal reference guide for conducting research that can influence society’s legal and social policies."
