Abstract
As we do not have a specific article for the methods section of the journal this time, we have decided to consider two methods texts, one reprinted in 2005 and the other published this year. One will attract those of you undertaking large-scale quantitative evaluations or case studies while the other is for novice qualitative evaluators interested in the health field. What these books have in common, however, is that both authors are Australian. David de Vaus is currently a Professor of Social Science at La Trobe University while Emily Hansen is a Research Fellow in the Discipline of General Practice at the University of Tasmania. Consequently, most of the examples within both books have arisen from Antipodean studies.
