Description
Here is a book written by experienced and well-known researchers who would themselves have found it invaluable as they embarked on their careers. Written in an easy-to-read manner, with many case histories and real-life situations, this book deals with some of the issues not talked about or mentioned in published research including: finding a voice amongst the multitude of methodologies and methods; working through relationship conflicts; fighting battles with structural constraints; crises of confidence, writing blocks; and the difficulties of being a student or a supervisor. Above all, the authors understand that research is more than a systematic, linear process.
