I have saved comment on Robson to this point, so I thought I would send along a nugget. I really enjoy the structure and flow of this book. Robson has done a great job of detailing each of the issues, models, and philosophies covered to this point. I have found myself varying from three different states of understanding: 1.) That seems obvoius enough; 2.) I have seen this before, but now it is clearer to me; 3.) Wow, I have a lot to learn.

This is certainly a text that I will refer back to again, like  Booth, Colomb, & Williams. There is also a lot to this book that I hope I will rememer when doing future research. It is no wonder that there are often multiple authors and editors. Who can keep track of all of this material?

This book also will require multiple reads for me. It is not that the material is too technical, it just seems to me that many of the items he speaks about will make more sense when you actually apply them. His tables and boxes of information are absolutely invaluable. I will probably have them at hand whenever I am writing research in the future.
