"""This volume…covers a very broad range of issues related to the methodology used in surveys. ...The contributing authors …[are] among the top-class scientists in their field (worldwide). ...The volume will definitely have added value for survey practitioners. ... With some background, this volume is certainly appropriate for any course on survey methodology. I’m looking forward to its publication. It will be exciting!"" – Marcel Das, CentERdata (Tilburg University), the Netherlands ""Much of the outstanding work now moving survey science forward is from European countries. This volume brings together recent work from many of the world’s best survey methodologists, ranging from coping with survey mode and nonresponse effects to designing access panels."" – Don A. Dillman, Washington State University, USA ""This is an excellent, updated and instructive collection of essays in survey methodology produced by the most notable European experts on the topic. This book is highly recommended for survey methodologists and any practitioner of public opinion."" – Mariano Torcal, Pompeu Fabra University, Spain ""Improving Survey Methods will be a treat for survey methodologists everywhere. Written by a dream team of European researchers, the book examines important topics facing survey researchers around the world."" – Roger Tourangeau, Westat, USA ""There is hardly a shortage of books on survey design. But even in such a saturated market the value of this tome (and it is a rather substantial text) is impossible to deny. And with its pan-European collection of authors, all of whom have contributed to the success of some of the largest social surveys in Europe, it is not lacking in authority... For academics and seasoned researchers keen to consolidate their understanding of all aspects of survey design, in particular (but not exclusively) those with a quantitative leaning, they are unlikely to find better."" - James Lubwama, SRA Research Matters ""This volume…covers a very broad range of issues related to the methodology used in surveys. ...The contributing authors …[are] among the top-class scientists in their field (worldwide). ...The volume will definitely have added value for survey practitioners. ...
