<em>Research Methods: From Theory to Practice</em> is the most comprehensive and overall best research methodology book I have seen in years. It not only provides the student with a strong background in research theory but also prepares them to perform their own research better than any book I have read. -- Andrew Triplett, <em>Loyola University Chicago</em> This excellent new text brings the teaching of research methods into the twenty-first century. It is refreshingly well written, contains a variety of important topics not covered in other methods texts. --Randolph R. Cornelius, <em>Vassar College</em> This book provides a complete, yet personalized coverage of the discipline of Research from the perspective of a set of distinguished practitioners in the field...That is really quite remarkable. --Frank M. Groom, <em>Ball State University</em> I like the current approach to discussing data analyses and the emphasis on effect sizes. In these areas, <em>Research Methods: From Theory to Practice</em> is far beyond its competitors. --Catherine Forestell, <em>The College of William and Mary</em>
