Beautifully written, and filled with practical advice, Andres′ book should become required readingStephen T. Ziliak Professor of Economics, Roosevelt University, and author of The Cult of Statistical SignificanceThere are many things to like about Lesley Andres′ book on designing and doing survey research. The language is accessible, the scope is impressive, it covers classic and contemporary authors, it provides concrete examples to beginning researchers, and it integrates survey research into a wider research framework. But there is one thing I loved: it breaks with the tradition of thinking of the survey as a quantitative method and, by extension, qualitative and quantitative methods as belonging to different paradigms. Lesley Andres convincingly argues and shows by example that there is much more to survey research than usually covered in conventional texts on this subject. Research methods books in this vein are overdue and are part of a new generation of applied research methods texts for the social and related sciencesManfred Max Bergman Professor of Political Sociology and Methodology, University of Basel ′The basics of survey research are all here, and the exercises in each chapter will help focus the readers attention on the essential points.′ -- Maryam Nazari & G.E.
