The perfect balance for new researchers
This book has been my bible during my Masters degree research project.
I looked around before finding it and found that most texts that covered both quantitative and qualitative methods were either radically simple introductions, or assumed way too much prior knowledge.
It is a great reference book, but for new researchers like me, reading it from front to back has guided my into the complexities of research without drowning me at the same time.

Review of Social Research Methods by W. Lawrence Neuman
This effort clearly defines, explains and illustrates with examples: research, research methods, social sciences research, and how to utilize research methods. I highly recommend it for all beginning undergraduate students, graduate students looking to improve their research skills, and anyone who may be utilizing research results in their job functions and/or projects.
