Recenzje

'[Most college students] are not yet specialists or experts and so they need a survey and guide. This book seems the best fit for meeting that need. It can serve as a textbook for teaching senior undergraduate or beginning graduate classes across the field of social and behavioral sciences.' Hak-Soo Kim, Asian Journal for Public Opinion Research
