520			_aThis New Zealand-based book is aimed at tertiary students across disciplines, those who work with research information, and a more general audience. The book is structured in three parts: the first part discusses philosophical and theoretical issues in social research, the second part addresses the basics of social research covering the core topics common to all social research techniques; and the third part describes common research approaches in depth, illustrated by the work of prominent New Zealand social scientists. The text provides practical guidance in areas such as questionnaire development and statistical data analysis, as well as more general discussion of ethics and the use of computers in research. In addition to contributors revising most of the chapters from the first edition, the editors have added a new chapter on quantitative research using experimental research design. Maori research has been integrated more widely in the text, and more material of specific interest to health and education researchers has been included. Adding to the previous text on oral history and social history, the editors have introduced a chapter on genealogical research. A new research technique is also presented; 'visual sociology', which mixes observational research techniques and semiotics.
