Discovering Knowledge with Inductive Queries

Database Support for Data Mining Applications

"In addition to the presentation of several strategies designed to handle multivariate data, the book’s strength lies in its immediate applicability. By including relevant datasets, the embedding of R code throughout, and in the open source nature of its production (it was written in R markdown), the book has encouraged reproducible research while connecting computer code to the relevant statistical concepts. Practitioners in the life sciences would seemingly be well served to use the book as a guide for their research. . .. The open-source nature of the book is a unique benefit, as it ensures that future versions can swiftly update to include new concepts, data, or coding techniques. . . The book could also function as a textbook, particularly for a course in computational biology (either advanced undergraduate or introductory graduate).~The American Statistician, Reviews of Books and Teaching Materials
"Overall, I found that this book is excellent for researchers in the life sciences who are interested in retrieving, analyzing, and interpreting complex research data using sophisticated statistical methods and computing. The authors have effectively condensed broad and important topics into a single book. I highly recommend this book to anyone venturing into the exciting world of data analysis in many areas."~ Biometrics

Environmental Sampling and Analysis

Prime architect of the methodology of employing mixed methods in ethnographic research, Pertti J Pelto, traces it's historical evolution globally. His personal narrative provides practical, experiential learnings for obtaining nuanced answers to complex research questions. Through decades of work with research networks and communities in India and other developing countries, Pelto succeeded in legitimizing the once suspect qualitative techniques. It is because of his untiring efforts that integrating qualitative with quantitative methods has become the norm today.
Saroj Pachauri, MD, PhD, DPH, Distinguished Scholar, Population Council

Only Pertti Pelto could have written this history –a tour de force of erudition. The book makes clear that anthropology is and has always been about mixed methods, but social scientists of all stripes will find wonderful material here for teaching mixed methods.
H. Russell Bernard, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, University of Florida; Director of the Institute for Social Science Research, Arizona State University

In his latest book, Pertti Pelto takes us on a captivating, personal and historical tour of the use of mixed methods in social science research. His narrative style and stories from the from the field make this both a fun read and an important reference for students and researchers who want to gain a broader understanding of past and present developments in ethnographic research methods.

Patricia Hudelson, PhD, Anthropologue médicale, Consultation transculturelle et interprétariat, Département de médecine communautaire, de premier recours et des urgences, Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève

In this immensely insightful, rich and readable ‘story’ of ethnographic research in the use of mixed methods, Professor Pelto reminds us how important is the historical perspective concerning research methods and strategies. In the absence of this clarity, social scientists and public health researchers are likely to polarize the discourse of qualitative versus quantitative methods and fail to take cognizance of various nuanced ways in which multi-method approaches enhance our knowledge creation. I can hardly overemphasize the timeliness of this book
Ravi Verma, PhD, Regional Director, Asia, International Center for Research on Women 

Mixed Methods Research captures a wide and throughout picture of ethnographical research methods. It brings interestingly together the historical development and Pelto’s personal reflections on interaction of qualitative and quantitative research methods. Pelto’s wide experience of ethnographical research makes this book is an enjoyable reading and important guide for students as well as professional scholars all over the world. This book answers to a growing need for a practical guide in data-gathering. 
Inker-Anni Linkola, Senior Officer, Sámi Archives, Sajos

Even in constructing his comprehensive and complex work on the application of mixed metholodologies, Pertti J. Pelto is a lively and engaging academic narrator, who succeeds to interpret deep issues and problems which have occupied generations of anthropologists.　He weaves into the discussion his intensive long-term personal knowledge and experiences in multiple disciplines in various cultural settings, from the Skolt Sami in northernmost Europe to rural communities in South Asia. Pelto provides researchers and other actors, such as non-governmental organizations, with insights, strategies, and tools to apply mixed methodologies to health and social issues or economic and ecological understanding in an easily accessible manner."

'Henn and Vowe's collection reviews and expands several of the central theories and methods involved in political communication on the internet. From gatekeeping to media influence and many other topics, this book invigorates both theoretical issues in the field. The methodological sections on topics such as data mining and social networks integrate issues that cut across the field of political communication. This book will be useful for anyone seeking deeper understanding of the field.'—Jeremey Hunsinger, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada
'This collection offers an impressive updating of political communication theory and methods for the online world. As ever more personalized and socially networked communication dominate our political lives, researchers need to think about whether old models and methods still work and, along with what new perspectives are needed. This volume addresses the full spectrum of these concerns in impressive fashion.' —Lance Bennett, University of Washington, USA

"With intellectual rigor and passion, the editors of Improving Lives through Feminism not only understand the conspicuous state of feminism, but also emphasize the important concept that reflection, activism, pedagogy, radical love, and sharing one’s journey into feminism as practice are the keys to improving the lives of girls and women. I salute these authors for pushing for more intersectional examples of feminism that represent real women and their everyday lives."
--Bettina L. Love, Associate Professor of Education, University of Georgia

"It’s hard to remember the last time I read a book and came away with solid ideas both for practices I could use in the classroom and also for my work as a feminist writer. So if you are teaching—be it in a classroom, a community center, or your kitchen—then I urge you to read Feminist Pedagogy, Practice, and Activism. Through a blend of narrative and analysis, these teachers and activists offer innovative ideas, lessons learned over the years, and research on the transformations that happen when an intersectional and engaged feminism is at the center of the educational experience."
---Daisy Hernández, Professor of English, Miami University 

"This radical collection serves to reclaim and enact feminism’s grassroots challenge to societal inequities. Feminist Pedagogy, Practice, and Activism reads like a playbook for dismantling privilege and oppression. It’s an essential read for anyone seriously engaged in teaching for social justice."--Lyn Mikel Brown, Professor of Education, Colby College
"In Feminist Pedagogy, Practice and Activism; Improving the Lives of Women and Girls, Jennifer L. Martin, Ashley E. Nickels, and Martina Sharp-Grier blur the lines between daily life and the classroom, in this collection on how to "do feminism" as educators and as feminists. The result is an edited volume that merges theory and practice and centers what it means to integrate feminism into education through an intersectional, personal and reflexive stance. They not only focus on "what works" but also "where the struggle lies." An important book for anyone who wants to create a classroom (or world) steeped in equality and social justice, with the potential of liberation, no matter what the subject."
--Jo Reger, Professor of Sociology, Oakland University
"'Feminism' is still a dirty word to many – not only because of the negative connotations that have been piled on the term over the years but also because too many still believe feminism to be an esoteric and exclusionary theory, valuable only in the ivory tower of academe, rather than a useful and practical framework to make the world a better place for everyone. The educators, practitioners, and activists writing in Feminist Pedagogy, Practice, and Activism: Improving the Lives of Girls and Women accomplish the critical task of showing how feminism truly makes a difference – in how we teach, how we serve, and how we fight for change. This text provides important examples of how feminist praxis not only helps support individual empowerment but also can be used to challenge and change systemic problems."
--Heather Brown, Executive Director, Women + Girls Research Alliance, University of North Carolina Charlotte
"Feminist Pedagogy, Practice, and Activism: Improving Lives of Girls and Women, edited by Jennifer L. Martin, Ashley E. Nickels, and Martina Sharp-Grier is a welcome volume for educators and activists teaching and working with girls and young women. The "girl empowerment" movement has made inroads in girls’ sports, mentorship programs, and popular culture. Feminist Pedagogy, Practice and Activism moves beyond the empowerment model to provide an interdisciplinary, multiracial exploration of the ways we can create progressive social change in our classrooms and communities. Starting with the reflexive stance of the editors, this book provides feminist insights to teaching and working with young people. Perhaps most importantly, the message across the readings is one of optimism for the future as we plant the seeds of change today."
