"In this Second Edition of the bestselling Making Sense of the Social World: Methods of Investigation, authors Daniel F. Chambliss and Russell K. Schutt once again provide students with an engaging, innovative, and accurate introduction to social research. More than a brief derivative of the Fifth Edition of Schutt's Investigating the Social World, this version is written in a less format, occasionally humorous style, with more concise examples drawn from everyday experience and less coverage of complex or more rigorous methods."--Jacket.
