92 Book Reviews shelves, although not as an introductory text on MDS. Unfortunately, the review copy, despite being gently handled and kept in a warm house, showed a quick tendency for the cover to warp, which one does not expect in a book of this price.

BORUCH (eds), 1986 Berlin, Springer-Verlag v+ 129 pp. DM28,50 ISBN 3 540 96428 2 This book is a collection of four papers brought together in the introduction by Boruch & Pearson. Each paper gives a different aspect on the cots and benefits of Survey Research. The papers outline the general approaches to allocating resources and choosing specific research designs and then presents a comparison of the costs and benefits, with examples of surveys and social experiments.
