Bøker i Longman Social Research Series-serien

This series examines the history, aims, techniques and limitations of social research, providing guidelines on how to assess what affects our daily lives. Revised to take account of developments in research methodology and applications, this edition includes a chapter on designing research.

Written by one of the leading figures in ethnographic research in the UK, this book addresses the key issues and problems surrounding this research tradition. The continuing interest in such research has meant that much has been written on how to do it but very little on how to read and interpret ethnographic studies

A successful and distinctive text which provides an invaluable introduction to the theoretical and philosophical issues surrounding social research.
