The Ethnographic I: A Methodological Novel about Autoethnography (Ethnographic Alternatives Book Series) 2 reviews
Carolyn Ellis
AltaMira Press, 2004
"I" recommend this book completely.
This is a fascinating read -- methodological theory presented in the form of a novel, a college prof teaching a class on a fairly new, "post-postmodern" form of reflexive qualitative writing, auto/ethnography. Could be seen as the manifesto for the sub-genre. Auto/ethongraphy is not embraced by all in the sicial sciences, such as anthropology, sociology, communications, psychology, medical ...

Marketing Research: Methodological Foundations (with InfoTrac®)4 reviews
Gilbert A. Churchill, Dawn Iacobucci
South-Western College Pub, 2004
Expensive but worth every penny!
This is a huge work of marketing research, both in terms of volume and importance. Although intended as a grounding in the foundations of market research, the book takes you further than that. As a result I was using it as a text at post-graduate level. The book sets out to explain how to: Formulate your problem. Determine your research design. Design your collection method and forms. ...

Daniel Chernilo
Routledge, 2007

Its main aim is therefore to provide a renovated account of the nation-state’s historical development and recent global challenges. It divides its reconstruction of the history of ...

Measurement in Psychology: A Critical History of a Methodological Concept (Ideas in Context)1 review
Joel Michell
Cambridge University Press, 2005
A superb account of logic and scienctific thought
Although retired from his role at the University of Sydney, I hope that Joel Michell's words continue to change lives as they did when he was actively teaching.
This book takes you through a journey of logic. It is a series of lessons in thinking, and critiques the lack of logic and sensible thought that all too many "scientists" abide by.
If you are reading this review, you already have an ...

Studying Minority Adolescents: Conceptual, Methodological, and Theoretical Issues
Lawrence Erlbaum, 1998
In the burgeoning research literature on adolescents, the relative paucity of work examining ethnic variations in developmental processes is a glaring gap, particularly because approximately one third of American young people now come from an ethnic minority background. A primary factor in this research imbalance has been the lack of training in methods and research instruments needed to properly study ethnically diverse populations. This book ...

Second Language Acquisition and the Critical Period Hypothesis (The Second Language Acquisition Research ...
Lawrence Erlbaum, 1999
In language learning, the rule of thumb is: the earlier the better. Children exposed to language from birth are uniformly successful in first language acquisition (L1A), whereas those deprived of contact with language during childhood are pathologically deficient. In second language acquisition (L2A), the difficulty of learning after puberty is routinely attested anecdotally and has been the subject of numerous scientific studies. It is widely ...

Case studies of individual language learners are a valuable means of illustrating issues connected with learning, using, and in some cases, losing another language. Yet, even though increasing numbers of graduate students and scholars conduct research using case studies or mix quantitative and qualitative methods, there are no dedicated applied linguistics research methods texts that guide one through the case study process. This book fills that ...
