Sinopse

An exercise to learn to think scientifically, with creativity, organization and clarity.

The Art of Research —a pioneering book on qualitative research in the social sciences—has become a must-read for researchers in various fields. An anthropologist with a groundbreaking body of work built over nearly thirty years of teaching and research, Mirian Goldenberg discusses theories and methods, teaches how to construct a research project, demonstrates how to prepare questionnaires and interviews, and offers tips on how to write a research report. This approach is accessible and based on extensive experience as a teacher, researcher, and advisor to other researchers. She also provides a glossary of key terms used in qualitative research.

The reader shouldn't imagine, however, that they'll find one of these manuals ready-made. From the very first paragraph, the author extols qualities that must be combined with meticulous work: curiosity, creativity, discipline, and, above all, passion. An attempt—which time has proven successful—to blend scientific knowledge with taste. Mirian Goldenberg proves that research is, without a doubt, an art.

Mirian seeks to show that scientific research isn't limited to a handful of pre-established rules. In *The Art of Research*, she seeks to teach the importance of the scientific perspective.
