内容简介

With more than three-quarters of a million copies sold since its first publication, The Craft of Research has helped generations of researchers at every level—from first-year undergraduates to advanced graduate students to research reporters in business and government—learn how to conduct effective and meaningful research. Conceived by seasoned researchers and educators Wayne C. Booth, Gregory G. Colomb, and Joseph M. Williams, this fundamental work explains how to find and evaluate sources, anticipate and respond to reader reservations, and integrate these pieces into an argument that stands up to reader critique.

The fourth edition has been thoroughly but respectfully revised by Joseph Bizup and William T. FitzGerald. It retains the original five-part structure, as well as the sound advice of earlier editions, but reflects the way research and writing are taught and practiced today. Its chapters on finding and engaging sources now incorporate recent developments in library and Internet research, emphasizing new techniques made possible by online databases and search engines. Bizup and FitzGerald provide fresh examples and standardized terminology to clarify concepts like argument, warrant, and problem.

Following the same guiding principle as earlier editions—that the skills of doing and reporting research are not just for elite students but for everyone—this new edition retains the accessible voice and direct approach that have made The Craft of Research a leader in the field of research reference. With updated examples and information on evaluation and using contemporary sources, this beloved classic is ready for the next generation of researchers.

    国内课程很缺失的step by step教程如果一个导师能够把她选择学术生涯的运思倾囊相授 你一定受益匪浅 然而国内很多老师(尤其年长者 鲜少谈及自己的研究运思 只知道强调让你自己narrow一下研究对象…… emmm10-23

    手上正好写着一篇论文,边写边看这本书。相当好,不过这些书看再多,还是要落实到扎扎实实地思考和动手去写。也就是说,即便不看这种书,只要勤思考勤动手,完全能写出好论文。09-12

    非常有用。不熟悉研究步骤的人,看完可以很好上手。用这本书高效的方法是:自己边做边看。研究做到哪步,就对照一相应部分看一下指导。我每次开始做一篇paper前就会参考相应章节的tips,然后再开始。等研究做熟练了,那些步骤都掌握后,就可不用知道了。(不过书里说的那些新人常见的错误还是都犯了一遍....)07-24

    于亭老师书单完成的第一本。非常实用的一本书,并且很好读,语言词句都比较基础;应当是可以收藏起来,随时翻看参考的工具书。阅读之收获无法在此细说,写完读书报告后或许会传为长评,权且留作纪念。10-08
