This accessibly written book is ideal for use in graduate courses or by practicing researchers and evaluators. The author puts the research problem at center stage, showing how mixed methods designs can fruitfully address different types of research questions.

Special features include "researcher standpoint" reflections from leading scholars and practical strategies to help users develop their own research perspectives.
