Throughout, good research design is shown as taking many shapes with its premise always be rooted in a clear understanding of what is known and what is knowable according to the researcher 's world view, in harmony with epistemological and ontological roots.

This book is for the advanced student who already has an insight into the basics of research and is wanting to ensure a robust approach to research construction and reflection.
