This new edition of Overseas Research: a Practical Guide is the ideal guide book to the real-life challenges of living and working in the developing world. The authors cover all aspects of the experience: choosing where to work, preparation for departure, finding somewhere to live, conducting research in an unfamiliar environment, and organising for and adjusting to the return home. The text is laced with real world examples and is eminently practical, with anecdotes and tips from a variety of disciplines: economics, politics and development studies.
