Book review: Research methods for community change: a project based approach

"Research Methods for Community Change: A Project Based Approach." Randy Stoecker. Second Edition. SAGE. April 2012. --- Everyone is a member of a community, and every community is continually changing. To successfully manage that change, community members need information. This book aims to give an in-depth review of all of the research methods that communities can use to solve problems, develop their resources, protect their identities, and build power. Johannes Wheeldon believes that readers seeking to understand new directions in social science research generally, or embark on their own community-based research will be well served by the mix of theory and practice, real-world examples, and student-friendly tone.
