About the Book

"Research Methods in Anthropology" is a standard textbook for methods classes in anthropology programmes. Since the 1980s it has launched thousands of students into the field with its combination of rigorous methodological advice, wry humour, common sense advice, and numerous examples from actual field projects. Now the third edition of this textbook contains all the useful methodological advice of previous editions and more: additional material on text analysis, an expanded section on sampling in field settings, the use of computers for fieldwork and analysis, the pros and cons of rapid assessment techniques in anthropology, and dozens of new examples. This book teaches field methods to students coming from scientific, interpretive, or applied anthropological traditions.

About the Author :
H. RUSSELL BERNARD is professor of anthropology at the University of Florida. A expert on research methods, on writing and publishing in previously non-written languages, and on social network analysis, he is author of half a dozen books and editor of the journal Field Methods. He received the Boas Award in 2003 for Exemplary Service to Anthropology.

Review :
"This volume is fun to read and will turn SIL OWLs (ordinary working linguists) on to doing ethnography.... If new fieldworkers will just read the 16 pages (187-202) on how to choose informants they will find that alone worth the book's price and save themselves months of mistrials.... We predict this book will become the most widely used text in university anthropology classes on research techniques.... Research Methods is an invaluable resource to beginning field researchers, and even to experienced researchers who want a new angle on fieldwork. It covers a broad range of methodologies with many helpful examples and illustrations. Readers will gain both knowledge and a deeper appreciation of the problems of field research by reading this book. We recommend that every SIL library around the world have a copy of the third edition. It is such a significant improvement that SIL researchers will do themselves a disservice if they continue to rely on the earlier second edition." --Virginia B. Crowell, (University of North Dakota and SIL), Notes On Anthropology "This 753-page volume, now in its third edition, is the standard for anthropology students and researchers alike and offers valuable information and advice to all social scientists interested in research methods and analysis.... An absolute must for all libraries, classrooms, and individuals interested in this subject matter." --M.R. Dittemore, (Smithsonian Institution Libraries), Choice Reviews
