Henn, Weinstein and Foard provide a clear and easy-to-understand route-map to help the reader plan their research project from beginning to end.

It provides answers to the following questions: What is social research, and why do we conduct it? What is and what is not acceptable knowledge about the social world? What are and what are not acceptable methods for acquiring social knowledge? What are the primary debates about the relative merits and weaknesses of quantitative and qualitative research styles? To what extent is it possible to combine methods in a single research study? Can - and should - social research ever be objective and value-free?
