Book
Pbk. Over 30 years ago the authors of this book produced a provocative critique of survey research methods that were widely used for development planning in Nepal Their innovative study demonstrated that survey methods generated significantly inaccurate and misleading data This work further exposed numerous socio-cultural and linguistic factors that accounted for this high accumulation of non-sampling errors in the survey process Today in Nepal and elsewhere national and international development agencies continue to rely heavily on survey research to guide their policies plans and projects This second edition of The Use and Misuse of Social Science Research in Nepal re-opens the important issues of how and why survey methods must be modified and supplemented with other methods in order to produce valid and useful data in the context of developing countries such as Nepal This current edition of the book includes Foreword by Prof Chaitanya Mishra and Preface and Introduction which places the original study in a contemporary perspective with respect to theory and practice in social sciences 154 pp.

George McClelland Foster, Jr born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on October 9, 1913, died on May 18, 2006, at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979, when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications, his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics, including acculturation, long-term fieldwork, peasant economies, pottery making, public health, social structure, symbolic systems, technological change, theories of illness and wellness, humoral medicine in Latin America, and worldview. The quantity, quality, and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976. Virtually all of his major publications have been reprinted and/or translated. Provenance from the executor of Foster's library laid in. Condition: Lightly soiled, corners and spine head bumped.
