Well, that's how we call it in our department as we always go back into this textbook whenever we need some guidance in our studies. It is the most useful textbook next to the Penguin Dictionary of IR. Recommended buy for all International Relations students out there.

.Discovering Statistics Using SPSS (Introducing Statistical Methods series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Sociology
by: Andy Field

2005-03
If you are needing to learn both SPSS and statistics at the same time and intimidated at all by the math, this is a great book to help take you through the quagmire of both the SPSS software, the principles of statistics and make sense of it all too! Andy Field has done an excellent job at taking much of the mystery out of how and why to use the various tests. The book is comprehensive but the analysis of my research and study is focussed primarily on correlation, t-tests and regression. There are chapters in the book I will probably never read as I cannot foresee ever needing to read them. But, the book is very useful for referencing particular areas and providing a tutorial as you are working.

I love the way Andy has created ... Read More:

.Criminology
City Travel Guides > Books > Sociology
by: Tim Newburn

August 31, 2007
Newburn's `Criminology' is the last word in criminology textbooks. Enjoyable to read, comprehensive and authoritative, Newburn's `Criminology' is a real subject `bible'. Newburn's highly accessible style means that complex information is explained clearly without losing depth. The plentiful, varied and original illustrations help to bring concepts, writers and the subject as a whole to life. An excellent resource throughout a criminology degree, Newburn's `Criminology' represents absolute value for money and I highly recommend it to all criminology students.

.The Oxford Handbook of Criminology
City Travel Guides > Books > Sociology
from: OUP Oxford

March 29, 2007

this book was recommended to me by my Criminology module tutor on my law degree course. I have found it helpful, and there is much detail, yet at the same time it is readable. Probably the most helpful textbook on Criminology for degree level that you will find.

.Research Methods for Business Students

by: Mark Saunders, Adrian Thornhill, Philip Lewis

August 15, 2006
I'm doing an M.Sc. in Operational Research by distance learning. I didn't have much of a clue about how to go about organising the research for my dissertation, and this book (out of all that I've bought) has been the best, providing a clear workflow from start to finish. Some really helpful references too.

.First Steps in Counselling: A Students' Companion for Basic Introductory Courses
City Travel Guides > Books > Sociology
by: Pete Sanders

2002-08
I really have a problem with author's who can't see past the tip of their nose, Pete Saunders I believe *can.* A lot of material is very clearly covered - gaining insight bilaterally into the potential of 'counselling' as a career or 'helper.' *Very* good explanations and comparisons of varying psycho-analytic methods.

Oh I so resent Freud for being so stuffy....(Tho there are 'glory moments' in Pete Saunders book, I suppose he's allowed...) ;o)
Very good on the whole, easy to read, thorough explanations and guidance in MANY areas.
