Reviews
I have always enjoyed research textbooks authored by Rubin and Babbie because they explain complicated items in the simplest terms possible. Research is one of those topics that everyone tries to avoid but the authors make you want to engage and enjoy it., I really like the organization of the book and the clarity of the chapters utilized in the text. Students often comment that they appreciate the clarity of the text.
