The fifth edition of The Research Process is a complete, easy-to-read, and simple-to-apply introduction to quantitative and qualitative research methods for undergraduate university students. Drawing on the strengths of the previous editions, it assumes little previous knowledge of research processes and takes a non-statistical, non-mathematical approach. Illustrations and examples are used extensively to explain the fundamental concepts of the research process and demonstrate its application.

Ling, Rod

This invaluable guide for students being introduced to research methods presents the fundamentals of the research process in a non-mathematical, non-statistical, step-by-step manner. Drawing on numerous illustrations and examples to explain concepts, this revised edition includes new case studies from a broad range of disciplines.

A Handbook of Social Science Research

What is social science research? How do you do it? What are the pitfalls? What are the tricks of the trade? This book provides answers to these and many other questions which need to be answered by students who seek to develop their research skills, and is an ideal introduction for those about to embark on research for the first time.  Adopting a step-by-step approach, the authors clarify such issues as: how to isolate and define a problem; how to frame a hypothesis; how to choose and measure variables; how to choose a research design; how to select a sample. By asking students to grapple with fundamental questions, and by using case studies, they bring research theory and practice alive.  The book is ideally suited to students taking courses in social science, social studies, or education. The new edition has been completely updated and includes a new chapter on qualitative research, as well as vital information on using computers in social science research.

Challenging the view of Islamic extremists and critics of Islam, this book explores the very topical issue of Islam’s compatibility with democracy. It examines:   principles of Islam's political theory and the notion of democracy therein  the notion of democracy in medieval and modern Muslim thought  Islam and human rights the contribution of Islamic legal ideas to European legal philosophy and law. The book addresses the pressing need for a systematic show of an Islamic politics of human rights and democracy grounded in the Qur’an. The West wonders about Islam and human rights, and its own ability to incorporate Muslim minority communities. Many Muslims also seek to find within Islam support source for democratic governance and human rights.
