Moser & Kalton (1971, 1985)
Claus Moser and Graham Kalton
Survey Methods in Social Investigation
(Ashgate Dartmouth 1985)
[Publishers' blurb]
"This book provides a comprehensive account of the methods used in social surveys. All the stages of a survey are covered, from the original planning to the drafting of the final report. Throughout, the emphasis is on the underlying principles, with particular attention being given to sampling – a subject which often troubles students and research workers. The book will be of great value to students in social sciences as well as research workers, and people concerned with social surveys in government and the business world."
As Colin Mills (Sociology, Oxford) noted in 2008, "This is an excellent book, but it hasn’t been revised since 1971 so all the examples are more than 30 years old. " The first edition of this book (by Claus Moser) was published in 1958. A revised edition (with Graham Kalton) was published in 1971 (See abstract on the CAB Direct bibliographic data-base.)
