Editorial Review:

Product Description:

Written in uncommonly engaging, lucid, and elegant prose, this book is an “understand-it-yourself, do-it-yourself” manual designed to help readers understand the fundamental structure of quality research and the methodical process that leads to genuinely significant results.

It guides the reader, step-by-step, from the selection of a problem to study, through the process of conducting authentic research, to the preparation of a completed report, with practical suggestions based on a solid theoretical framework and sound pedagogy. This book will show readers two things: 1) that quality research demands planning and design; and, 2) how their own research projects can be executed effectively and professionally. For researchers and research analysts in any discipline.

Rating: - Research Writing
This is a good tool for research writing; however, the newer edition has some newer tips for Internet-based research that isn't mentioned in-depth in this edition.

Rating: - Fantastic
An absolute must for anyone who is getting started for the first time on writing a thesis or completing a major project. It breaks down the research process into manageable steps and explains them in plain language. It is targeted at the first time researcher but is also a valuable reference at later stages of the research and reporting writing processes. It has made researching my own project a whole less daunting.

Rating: - Practical Research: Planning and Design
A great book for a graduate student like me. It helps you how to pick a topic, have some questions concerning a topic, and make them into a research that is in your words. It is an excellent book for a beginning researcher, guiding him or her step by step, through the entire research process with practical suggestions. It is a great book if you want to have a quality research in any discipline. Good luck.
