This book is a very important guide for doing Research.
I read most of it as a part of my "Business Research Methods" Class
It is very informative and simple. I believe I will reread it again

This review is actually for the tenth edition of this textbook, published in 2016.

I don't often consider people reviewing actual textbooks, but this is an amazing resource for learning the basics of research and experimental design. I would highly suggest this to anyone who has also read The Skeptics Guide To The Universe, and wants to know more detail about how to properly conduct scientific research.
I rented this book from the school library, but I don't think I'm going to return this one.
