Methods of Social Research by Thomas J Sullivan
A comprehensive introduction to the research methods used in sociology and other social sciences, METHODS OF SOCIAL RESEARCH explores the rules and procedures that social scientists use in designing research projects and in assessing information and drawing conclusions. Balancing coverage of basic and applied social science research and qualitative and quantitative approaches, students learn to participate in the design of research projects, critically analyze research reports and identify their strengths and weaknesses, and assess the legitimacy of their conclusions. Part I of the book introduces the topic of social research. Part II of the book describes two critical issues in research, measurement and sampling. Part III describes the most commonly used research designs in the social sciences. Part IV focuses on data analysis, deriving some meaning from the observations that were made during the research process. Part V of the book deals with how research findings are used.
Thomas Francis Tom Sullivan was born in County Kerry, Ireland in 1893.He was a young volunteer in the army of brave Irish patriots who fought the final successful campaign know as The Cause to eventually free Ireland from the British occupiers in 1922.Tom emigrated to America before our entry into World War I. He served with distinction as an infantryman in Pershing's victorious Army. Tom fought for The Cause before and after his US Army service. Eventually he had a 33 year career policeman in the city of Springfield Massachusetts and became one of the top detectives in the city.He traveled back and forth to Ireland with regularity all of his life. His passion was The Cause. A truly noble cause he was part of all of his life. His goal was to ensure future generations of Irish people, and their cousins and descendants spread to the four corners of the globe, would remember the struggle and sacrifices made for Irish independence and freedom. This tireless effort over several decades became his life's work and culminated with his manuscript entitled the Forgotten Facts of Irish History. This has been published decades after his passing from this life.
