Review: "This collection breaks new ground in its offering of frank commentary on aspects of the research process - based on first-hand experience and observation by experienced academics together with a senior representative of one key funding agency." "The collection is also notable for the sheer variety of research projects covered. Most contributors are reporting with reference to a particular 'case-study' experience. But these range from the most localised to the most multi-national; from the most specialised to the most multi-disciplinary undertakings."--BOOK JACKET.
