The Curious Researcher 9 reviews
Bruce Ballenger
Longman, 2006
Excellent Research Text
Easy to teach from and the students say that they both learn from it and enjoy it. Most intend to keep the book to refer back to. It is my first choice for a research writing class text.

The Modern Researcher6 reviews
Jacques Barzun, Henry F. Graff
Wadsworth Publishing, 2003
Time-tested excellence
This book has guided more Ph.D. theses into successful completion and more decent, serious academic works through research and writing and into print than any other single work available. Those who might not find this book to their liking bring a story to mind about two young people walking through an art gallery and commenting loudly on what they did and did not like. A guard approached ...

Absolutely essential for all American genealogists
Since its first edition in 1972, and especially with the completely revised and greatly expanded 2nd edition in 1990, this comprehensive work has become the standard guide and textbook in the pursuit of U.S. genealogical research.

Design and Analysis: A Researcher's Handbook (4th Edition)5 reviews
Geoffrey Keppel, Thomas D. Wickens
Prentice Hall, 2004
Intuitive, yet rigorous
This is probably the best experimental design and analysis text available out there. Unlike other texts (e.g., Winer et al.'s), it is writen as a book to be read rather than as a reference to be consulted sporadically. My graduate students all praise it for being just at the right level of intuitiveness-rigor. I suspect that it covers about 85-90% of the analysis issues that behavioral ...

Becoming Qualitative Researchers: An Introduction (3rd Edition)3 reviews
Corrine Glesne
Allyn & Bacon, 2005
Becoming Qualitative Researchers
As a teacher of qualitative research methods to doctoral students, I highly recommend this book. It is easy to read and gives students a broader understanding of qualitative approaches to research than books that focus specifically on one or more methods. I also appreciate the attention given to the impact of postmodernism in the field. I am an instructor who typically favors articles and ...

Feminist Methodologies for Critical Researchers: Bridging Differences (Gender Lens)
Joey Sprague
AltaMira Press, 2005
This text teaches students how standard methods can be adapted toward critical ends by thinking about the links between epistemology and methodology. Joey Sprague's treatment of qualitative and quantitative methods shows how both can be used effectively by progressive researchers. She traces how the social organization of the academy has produced a bias against feminist methodology and proposes a program to overcome these limitations.

Interviewing As Qualitative Research: A Guide for Researchers in Education And the Social Sciences7 reviews
Irving Seidman
Teachers College Press, 2006
Concise, Informative, Organized
Qualititative research is far more than asking a prescribed list of questions. However, the interview is key and core to learning what the researcher wants to know. "Interviewing as Qualitative Research" by Irving Seidman is a concise but informative book explaining the whole process clearly. In fact, the strength of the book is not so much the content -- other books say the same things -- but ...

Patent Strategy: For Researchers and Research Managers2 reviews
H. Jackson Knight
Wiley, 2001
One patent book that is worth the money
There are too many books about patents these days that are written by consultants (including lawyers-turned-consultants). Most of them are fluff that try to promote some new buzzword, like "intellectual capital management." There's nothing wrong with having a broad and managerial view about intellectual property, but unfortunately most such books are filled with useless consultant-style diagrams ...
