Brett Pelham's entertaining, accurate, broad, and impressively current book give students a feel for what it is really like to conduct research in psychology, demonstrating not just the how of research but also the why. With verve and personality, Pelham covers both experimental and nonexperimental methods, and tells the story of how research techniques really work in action.
