Current Readings
or better the books bought in the last three weeks, some of which I already finished reading, am reading or just quickly scanning thru (or should be reading;)):
- Systematic empiricism: critique of a pseudoscience (David and Judith Willer, 1973);
- Quantity and Quality in Social Research (Alan Bryman, 2000);
- The Sage Handbook of Qualitative Research: Third Edition (Norman K. Denzin, Yvona S. Lincoln - eds., 2005);
- Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative and Mixed Methods Approaches (John W. Creswell, 2003);
- Social Research Methods: A Reader (ed. Clive Seale, 2004);
- Key Problems of Sociological Theory (John Rex, 1961).
I am very happy I bought every single one of them, they make a very interesting reading. But most proud I am of buying the big handbook, as I had been wanting to buy in for the last few years, but had always found it too expensive. But this new edition has really gotten into me, and it is worth every penny.
I very much like also Bryman’s and Creswell’s books, both are really top readings for my PhD.
My temperature came back a few days ago, only this time in a more elaborated edition: I have a sore throat and a running nose as well. I think I am over sensitive on air conditioning in the library or something. I really don’t find any other feasible explanation to this. Or maybe it’s just sadness, knowing that I will be leaving London and this wonderful LSE library quite soon. Too soon. I wish I had a few more weeks, ah … months even!
