Handbook of Survey Research and SPSS Survival Manual (New editions)

[John F Hall]

Not strictly SPSS, but there's often quite an overlap between survey method and SPSS for some of the queries to the list.  This new edition of the Rossi, Wright and Anderson 1983 handbook should be of interest and value to all users of survey research methods, many of whom consult the list from time to time. 

 

Peter V Marsden and James D Wright

Handbook of Survey Research (Emerald, 2010)  You can inspect preview pages on Google Books and there's also a blurb on the NORC (Chicago) site.

 

I've added the title to the list of selected textbooks on Doing Survey Research on my site.  This is in addition to the selected SPSS textbooks and links to Introductions and tutorials for SPSS on other sites.  Emerald are sending me a review copy to add to others in the queue, but there are already extensive (different) reviews of the best-seller SPSS Survival Manual (Pallant 2001 and Pallant 2005).  Her 3rd edition (2008) is in the review queue, but there is now a 4th edition (July, 2010) which seems to be available as a free download!!

 

What, with all these new editions, and SPSS already up to 19, how are we all supposed to keep up?

Hi John.  Here is the McAffee SiteAdvisor report on that site with the (apparently) free download of Pallant's 4th edition:

  http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/freshwap.net?premium=false&client_uid=2721283733&client_ver=3.1.0.175&client_type=IEPlugin&suite=false&aff_id=0&locale=en_ca&os_ver=5.1.3.0&pip=true

They have not yet finished testing, but note the User Review Summary at the bottom of the page.  Personally, I'd be a bit careful about downloading from that site for now.

If it looks to good to be true...?  I'm very wary of sites like that, but I did have a peek.  There's another site offering the same thing, but I can't find it now.

 

Incidentally I just came across an interesting looking book, Leonard Bickman and Debra Rog [Eds] Handbook of Applied Social Research Methods (link is to Google Books and there are plenty of preview pages).  Bit wider than survey research, but the BA Applied Social Studies (Social Research) I designed and ran at PNL was exactly this: a book like this would have been very handy.  As usual the Americans are much better at this sort of thing than the Brits, who are only just recovering from Althusser, Cicourel et et al.

Hi John

 

Do you think that Pallant is receiving any royalties from the file at the URL where you placed the link labelled "free download" ?

My web wizard sent me this: could be dodgy, even piracy, but they haven't finished checking out the site yet.

Hi John,

you are correct, Mcafee is just an extra system overhead you don't really need.

Can't get through to the free book. I will have a look this evening at your place.
