"... an unusual and fascinating book. Each chapter is a well-told story of research practice as it really is rather than as we might hope it to be." Community Care "... invaluable to postgraduate students and social researchers who are invloved in applied research settings and any researchers debating the role and remit of ethics committees." SRA News "An original and extremely interesting contribution to the highly topical debate on research ethics. This book should be essential reading for social researchers, students on research methods courses, members of Research Ethics Committees, and those who are responsible for funding and managing research." Professor Jan Pahl, School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research, University of Kent
