Each chapter provides content information, examples that demonstrate the application of the content, suggestions for writing activities, and additional resources. All of this together in one textbook is phenomenal." -- R.M. Cooper, Drake University "Creswell's is a more comprehensive discussion of design. Most texts approach this issue as either a book on qualitative methods, or one on quantitative methods. Additionally, my students appreciate the language. While not simple, the language and tone in this book are both accessible and inviting." -- Gilberto Arriaza, California State University-East Bay "The accessibility of the content is a key strength. The students indicated that they will continue to use as a resource after the class is over." -- Heather J. Brace, Whittier CollegeLearn more about John W.
