Review :
‘If you ever thought doing academic research was a load of gobbledygook written from the back of a beer mat, these editors prove novel ideas can start from such a premise. This is the second edition of what is a vital guide for new, early career and experienced researchers in the social science and business fields. It charts real-world stories from problems of access, student-supervisor dynamics, finding time, dealing with writers-block, to what happens to you and a research project after you emigrate to another country. This is a highly engaging and enjoyable volume for all who do research.’
