Recenzje

'We need more books like this. With his far-reaching and accessible overview of the field, Giuseppe A. Veltri makes a very welcome contribution.' Axel Bruns, Queensland University of Technology, and President of the Association of Internet Researchers 'Giuseppe A. Veltri's innovative approach locates digital methods within the established canon of social research methodology, without the hyperbole that often surrounds such discussion. Students will learn about the essential principles of social scientific research and where new methods sit in relation to traditional methods.' Nick Allum, Professor of Research Methodology, University of Essex 'This is a timely and important book. Its real strength is that it moves beyond the "how to" to explain the "why". This is achieved with clear language that makes the book of value to advanced undergraduates and postgraduates alike.' Scott Wright, Associate Professor of Digital Media and Political Communication, University of Melbourne
