Opis książki

"Covers a broad range of subjects that undergraduates in the discipline should be familiar and comfortable with upon graduation. From chapters on the scientific method and fundamental research concepts, to experimental design, sampling and statistical analysis, the text offers an excellent introduction to the key concepts of geographical research. The content is applicable for students at the beginning of their studies right through to planning and conducting dissertations. The book has also been of particular support in designing my level 1 and 2 tutorials which cover similar ground to several of the chapters."

- Joseph Mallalieu, School of Geography, Leeds University



"Montello and Sutton is one of the best texts I've used in seminars on research methodology. The text offers a clear balance of quantitative vs. qualitative and physical vs. human which I've found particularly valuable. The chapters on research ethics, scientific communication, information technologies and data visualization are excellent."

- Kenneth E. Foote, Department of Geography, University of Colorado at Boulder



This is a broad and integrative introduction to the conduct and interpretation of scientific research, covering both geography and environmental studies. Written for undergraduate and postgraduate students, it:




Explains both the conceptual and the technical aspects of research, as well as all phases of the research process
Combines approaches in physical geography and environmental science, human geography and human-environment relations, and geographic and environmental information techniques (such as GIS, cartography, and remote sensing)
Combines natural and social scientific approaches common to subjects in geography and environmental studies
Includes case studies of actual research projects to demonstrate the breadth of approaches taken


It will be core reading for students studying scientific research methods in geography, environmental studies and related disciplines such as planning and earth science. Montello and Sutton is one of the best texts I've used in seminars on research methodology. The text offers a clear balance of quantitative vs. qualitative and physical vs. human which I've found particularly valuable. The chapters on research ethics, scientific communication, information technologies and data visualization are excellent. Unlike many recent surveys and anthologies of geographic methodologies, Montello and Sutton provide a comprehensive and integrated overview which will continue to be of value across the entire discipline
Kenneth E. Foote
Department of Geography, University of Colorado at Boulder This second edition of An Introduction to Scientific Research Methods in Geography and Environmental Studies now ranks itself in the category of "books with experience", that is, it can be situated among these few noted books that have probably been used in many classes through the years. While advanced undergraduates in geography and natural sciences would obviously benefit from this reading at the condition of being combined with other related titles, other students in the broader field of environmental studies might also learn from the authors' interdisciplinary approach. -- Yves Laberge
