Rezensionen

'... it is certainly a very valuable read to those studying on advanced research methods courses. It would be much more essential for anyone researching gender and sexuality issues.' - Nursing Times

'A unique new contribution that is anything but boring. As the title indicates, the authors focus on sex and madness in their treatment of research methods ... A useful text to use in undergraduate introductory methods courses ... well-written and, unlike most methods texts, enjoyable to read.' - Reviewing Sociology.
