Now Available: Empirical Research and Writing 2nd edition
After a decade in print and two years of revisions, I’m thrilled to launch the second edition of Empirical Research and Writing: A Political Science Student’s Practical Guide. Written with a heavy dose of humor and an eye toward students’ actual use patterns, this accessible text welcomes students into the world of empirical research. Writing is a core element of doing and communicating research, and ERW addresses it head-on in every chapter with explicit sections on writing that part of the paper and useful Talking Tip boxes. Practical, non-discipline-specific motivating examples mean that much of the text is applicable for any positivist oriented research methods course.
