An absolute gem of a book. I think the research process is messier than the steps presented here (and it should be acknowledged), and I have some issues with minor things here, but other than that, this is by far the best intro to research design that I have read. Beats Cresswell any day with clarity and the crucial point that research design is not about methods. Warmly recommended.
