This is an excellent book for teaching postgraduate students about the different types of mixed method approaches, along with a critique of their use in behavioural sciences.

The book does cover elements of research for Bsc (Hons) students completing a dissertation and needing to understand research however the terminology is complicated particularly for the level required. The book may be of better use for those who have already been involved with research in parts.

Provides the needed foundation of Mixed Methods Research.

The book well deserves the title foundations. The authors' use of exemplar works and typical study examples emphasizes the important aspects of mixed methods (MM) research. By doing so, they keep novices from misinterpreting MM, while deepening more experienced users' understanding.
