Whether embarking on research as an undergraduate or for a doctorate, Gary Thomas book will be of great value to you. It is refreshingly different from other books about doing research: its informative, well-written, wide-ranging yet sufficiently detailed and above all its enjoyable to read! I recommend it highly.
Professor Peter Earley, Institute of Education, University of London
