Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2017. 269p. Paper, $30.00 (ISBN 978-0-22-643172-7). LC 2016025207. 2019-03-01 3 .pdf application/pdf 1753 68 47 Martin, the Florence Borchert Bartling Professor of Sociology at the University of Chicago, undergirds his discussion of qualitative social sciences research methods with wide-ranging examples from the literature of the discipline, as he champions rigor in the work of social science research with humor and some snark. It does, however, lay a solid foundation for rigorous analytical thinking in social sciences research while offering a sound, and ultimately time-saving, approach to producing quality research, presented in such a way as to serve as an enjoyable starting-off point for relative newcomers to the discipline. cache/crl-17627.pdf txt/crl-17627.txt
