This Second Edition provides a clear roadmap to the complexity of action research whilst explaining how action research is defined, its traditions and history, and the rationale for using it.

In combining a critical, philosophical approach with an expertly selected body of practical examples, the Second Edition of Chris Hart's landmark text provides both the intellectual understanding and the technical skills required to produce sophisticated, robust literature reviews of the very highest standard.

The classic text in multilevel analysis, dealing with everything you need to know, has been hugely revised and added to and is supported by all the software. A must-have for modellers.
