A stress-free and enjoyable approach to the research methods course

Understanding Research is a practical and visually appealing introduction to research. Whether students become producers or consumers of research, W. Lawrence Neuman shows them that the subject is both interesting and highly relevant to their lives and professional work. The Second Edition makes the essentials of doing high-quality research accessible, in ways that create excitement about the research process. Core principles, processes, and procedures of research are distilled – and presented with salient real-world examples and the latest academic studies – in a manner that students will want to learn them.

NOTE: This ISBN is for a Pearson Books a la Carte edition: a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf text. In addition to the flexibility offered by this format, Books a la Carte editions offer students great value, as they cost significantly less than a bound textbook.

Understanding Research, Second Edition is also available via Revel™, an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience.

You can also purchase a loose-leaf print reference to complement Revel Understanding Research. This is optional.
