More Description

Here is a lucidly clear, fact-rich guide to empirical research in the traditional humanities. Given the shortage of methodological considerations in humanistic study, this is just what we need. It is not only students who will learn from this book, but scholars at all levels. [...] Muses and Measures points to exciting new directions for disciplines involved in culture and aesthetics. It is a brilliant book. - Denis Dutton, University of Canterbury, New Zealand. Sometimes one book is enough to change the whole way of thinking or general attitude of students, and this is the case with Muses and Measures. [...] It is a practice-orientated book to help students and tutors either to get acquainted with methodology that is still new to them and will definately enrich their research methods or deepen their knowledge and develop skills in the field. [...] The book is clear and reader friendly. It invites students to enjoy research, using a conventional tone. [...] The volume is truly absorbing: as you start reading, you cannot put the book aside. [...] The book is an excellent reference source as it carefully guides students through all stages of research, leaving them independent where their own efforts are needed and offering some assistance where they do need support and guidance. - Anna Chesnokova, Kyiv National Linguistic University, Ukraine, Journal of Aesthetic Education, 44:4 (Winter 2010).
