Rezensionen

With translations of key terms and practical, relevant examples for Chinese students, Huiping Xian and Yue Meng-Lewis book very clearly explains the mechanics of how to do research but also delves into important issues affecting researching in context. The straightforward descriptions, templates, figures of key concepts, and section specifically examining culture and language make this book both an extremely valuable resource and an enjoyable read for students and researchers.
