- Reviews -

"This latest edition of Helen Kara' s book will further embed its reputation as a go-to book in the research and evaluation field. In a direct and accessible style, Kara provides guidance for early career and practitioner researchers, and inspiration for the more experienced. " Rosalind Edwards, University of Southampton. "This fantastic book offers an engaging orientation to the often mysterious world of research and evaluation. This book will continue to be passed from one researcher to the next. " James Burford, University of Warwick "This book is exceptionally clear, accessible and user friendly. It will prove to be an invaluable resource for time-pressured practitioners looking to carry out their own research. " Emma Taylor, London School of Economics and Political Science Reviews for previous editions: "In addition to providing research and methodology guidance, the book is a great tool for continuous learning and could be recommended to researchers and evaluation practitioners at any stage of their career. " LSE Review of Books "A must have for all who are just getting into research or who do research frequently. The exercises and feedback from those who shared with Kara, help affirm that the process of research and evaluation is worth the effort put into the process and her suggestions for keeping perspective throughout, so we can still have a life are essential for all researchers. " The Qualitative Report
