This reader is designed to accompany any main text in research methods or be used as a stand-alone reader. It has been closely patterned on the range of topics covered in Earl Babbie's best selling texts, THE PRACTICE OF SOCIAL RESEARCH, 11/e and BASICS OF SOCIAL RESEARCH, 4/e. The reader focuses on the core methodologies of the social research methods course and provides illustrations of those methods. The articles describe real world applications and research and show students how research is conducted and reported.a
