Practical Research Methods

This book, like others in its series (for example, grief, divorce and sex life), aims to present its topic in a straightforward and reader-empowering way. It scrupulously pares back any material that is not strictly necessary. It ends up with a direct, bare-bones review of a research process, from conceptualising a question, through choosing research methods, proposal writing to reporting the findings. Down to earth would describe it well.
