Reviews
I really like the organization of the book and the clarity of the chapters utilized in the text. Students often comment that they appreciate the clarity of the text., I have always enjoyed research textbooks authored by Rubin and Babbie because they explain complicated items in the simplest terms possible. Research is one of those topics that everyone tries to avoid but the authors make you want to engage and enjoy it.

Synopsis
If you're intimidated by the thought of taking research methods, Rubin and Babbie's classic bestseller can help you overcome the fear factor often associated with this course with its reader-friendly presentation of all aspects of the research endeavor. If you're not intimidated, you'll still appreciate the authors' clear and often humorous writing style as well as the book's depth and breadth of coverage. RESEARCH METHODS FOR SOCIAL WORK, Ninth Edition, strikes an optimal balance of quantitative and qualitative research techniques -- illustrating how the two methods complement one another and can be integrated in the same study. Relevant examples from real-world settings highlight the connections between research and social work practice. Comprehensive, friendly, accurate, and integrating the best of technology, this text is widely considered the best text for the research methods course -- and when you read it, you'll see why.

- -***s (1)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI finished the book and this was a good purchase. The book came over and was packaged really good so no minor damages that was possibly caused by shipping. There are little scratches on the book cover, however I’m not surprised as the seller listed as good condition so I am okay with it. There wasn’t anything crazy all I care that everything was readable which did satisfy me. I would definitely buy from this seller again if I need anything that they’re selling. 10/10
