520 1 $a"This completely revised version of the successful 1995 text covers a wide range of issues relating to research concepts and methods. It incorporates new lessons that have been learned regarding the merits and pitfalls of development work." "This text offers invaluable practical guidance and critical reflection on methods for development work and research in a non-orthodox spirit. With its multi- and cross-disciplinary perspective on development studies and their application, this new edition will be an essential resource for development planners and practitioners, and for researchers and students of development studies."--Jacket.
