Informed by years of research experience, Doing Development Research draws together many strands of action research and participatory methods, demonstrating their diverse applications and showing how they interrelate. The text provides:

· an account of the theoretical approaches that underlie development work

· an explanation of the practical issues involved in planning development research

· a systematic overview of information and data collecting methods in three sub-sections:

· methods of social research and associated forms of analysis

· using existing knowledge and records

· disseminating findings/research

Using clear and uncomplicated language – illustrated with appropriate learning features throughout - the text guides the researcher through the choice of appropriate methods, the implementation of the research, and the communication of the findings to a range of audiences. This is the essential A-Z of development research.

Denna lilla bok är skriven för dig som inte ser börsen som ett kasino, utan som helt enkelt vill skapa en stadig inkomst eller ett värdefullt tillskott till pensionen. Den riktar sig också till dig som egentligen inte alls är intresserad av börsen och inte vill följa de dagliga svängningarna där.

Baserat på sex enkla regler och nära tio års tester delar jag här med mig av ett upplägg som visat sig kunna ge en stabil avkastning även på relativt kort sikt och på ett enkelt sätt, utan att riskera din ekonomi. Som bonus har det dessutom visat sig ge en eftertraktad värdeökning.

Boken vill också visa att du inte behöver sätta din tillit till självutnämnda experter eller ekonomer, inte ens de på högsta nivå. Du kan istället tryggt förlita dig på ditt eget omdöme och din egen förmåga.
