Noted scientist's exceptionally clear, pragmatic guide to principles and procedures useful in a wide range of sciences. Design of experiments and apparatus; classification, sampling and measurement; analysis of experimental data; errors of measurement; probability, randomness and logic; much more. Indispensable for any researcher. 1952 edition. 49 illustrations.

"Although there are many books on project management, few address the issues associated with scientific research. This work is based on extensive scientific research and management experiences and is designed to provide an introduction to planning and managing scientific research for the beginning researcher. The aim is to build an understanding of the nature of scientific research, and the way in which research projects can be developed, planned and managed to a successful outcome. The book is designed to help the transition from being a member of a research team to developing a project and making them work, and to provide a framework for future work. The emphasis of the book is on broadly applicable principles that can be of value irrespective of discipline. It should be of value to researchers in the later stages of Ph.D. work and Postdoctoral workers, and also for independent researchers."--Abstract.

Introduction to Scientific Research Strategy and Planning isdesigned as an introductory primer for students interested inconducting research focused in both environmental andnatural sciences. The book introduces concepts for thenovice while providing instrumental recaps for a moreseasoned researcher. Because the thought of developingand conducting an individual research project for the firsttime can seem a surmountable task, having a primer toreview the process and aid in breaking out the steps can bemost valuable.The book is designed to explain the basic aspects ofresearch using the scientific method and provides selectexamples along with concept applications and guidance ondeveloping a written plan to conduct an individual researchproject. The text further explains how to modify a writtenplan to facilitate a variety of funding venues as well asbriefly addressing ethical issues associated with research.

"Covers a broad range of subjects that undergraduates in the discipline should be familiar and comfortable with upon graduation. From chapters on the scientific method and fundamental research concepts, to experimental design, sampling and statistical analysis, the text offers an excellent introduction to the key concepts of geographical research. The content is applicable for students at the beginning of their studies right through to planning and conducting dissertations. The book has also been of particular support in designing my level 1 and 2 tutorials which cover similar ground to several of the chapters." - Joseph Mallalieu, School of Geography, Leeds University "Montello and Sutton is one of the best texts I′ve used in seminars on research methodology. The text offers a clear balance of quantitative vs. qualitative and physical vs. human which I′ve found particularly valuable. The chapters on research ethics, scientific communication, information technologies and data visualization are excellent." - Kenneth E. Foote, Department of Geography, University of Colorado at Boulder This is a broad and integrative introduction to the conduct and interpretation of scientific research, covering both geography and environmental studies. Written for undergraduate and postgraduate students, it: Explains both the conceptual and the technical aspects of research, as well as all phases of the research process Combines approaches in physical geography and environmental science, human geography and human-environment relations, and geographic and environmental information techniques (such as GIS, cartography, and remote sensing) Combines natural and social scientific approaches common to subjects in geography and environmental studies Includes case studies of actual research projects to demonstrate the breadth of approaches taken It will be core reading for students studying scientific research methods in geography, environmental studies and related disciplines such as planning and earth science.
