The book arrived in a timely fashion and was in excellent condition. This is a wonderfully well organized text, both informative and visually appealing.

Excellent service. Received book next day and a cheaper price than the University's bookstore at a better price.

I emphasize from the get-go that I HAD to read this book. No one reads books like these for the fun of it.

But with that said, I did learn alot from Creswell. The book has a discussion about the differences between quantitative reseach where you are testing a hypothesis, and qualitative research, which often involves more case studies and social science research.

Creswell also highlights mixed methods research, which is what I will be doing in my program.

There are discussions about the different approaches to quantitative and qualitative research. The post-positivist apporahc where it is contended that nothing can be known with certainty. There is also a pragmatic approach and a couple of other approaches.

The book was really dull. But I forced myself to read it, and learned some of the basic approaches to field work.
