Good introductory textbook, but sometimes it felt like the authors were trying to meet a word count (got pretty repetitive)

A must-read for all education students - 5*
If you're doing education research and you haven't read this, where have you been?
This book is brilliant, especially in its 2nd edition. It's in-depth, focused and brilliant for ethics, which is what I needed it for.
It's great for data collection methods too but I'm over word count already so I avoided that section.
I've had it on reservation for AGES and just got it so you can see how good it is...
