The Practice of Social Research Description
The Thirteenth Edition of Babbie's THE PRACTICE OF SOCIAL RESEARCH gives students the tools they need to apply research concepts practically, as both researchers and consumers. Known as the "gold standard" for research methods, the book offers a comprehensive, straightforward introduction to the field of research as practiced by social scientists. Babbie emphasizes the research process by showing students how to design and construct projects, introducing the various observation modes in use today, and answering questions about research methods--such as how to conduct online surveys and analyze both qualitative and quantitative data.

I took Quantitative Analysis class in Spring 2013 and used the 11th edition of this book with no problem. No doubt little has changed in social research. I do not understand why they put out new editions every couple of years besides they are part of the culture of corporate greed in this country. Do not support this industry. Buy older used editions and send a message that we as students will no longer be exploited by these savages.

Earl Babbie has the best social research book on the market (and this is coming from a former college instructor). Research is a challenge for most students to understand, and you must be committed to earning the highest grade you can in order for this book to be of assistance to you. If you put in the time, this book will give you a solid foundation of research concepts, terminology and a basic understanding of the way professionals conduct studies. I am dismayed to see the cost of the book, the only reason it gets 4 stars,instead of 5. As with most college textbooks, covering the entire book in a semester is almost impossible.
