How to do research : and how to be a researcher / Robert Stewart.
"There are many textbooks on research methods, but these tend to be targeted at particular disciplines. Equally, there are plenty of books on popular science and other academic fields, but few that provide an overview of career opportunities or a framework for getting started. The principles underlying humanity's past and continuing acquisition of knowledge are straightforward and are illustrated here across academic fields, from history to quantum physics - stories of clever and inventive people with good ideas, but also of personalities, politics, and power. This book draws together these strands to provide an informal and concise account of knowledge acquisition in all its guises"-- Provided by publisher.
