Dana K. Keller and Mary Lou Casadevall-Keller provide readers with a highly accessible introduction to the fundamental concepts of research methods in The Tao of Research: A Path to Validity. This brief, engaging book approaches the topic of research through an exploration of the issues that threaten validity in the process of knowledge generation.
Key Features
- Examines the propositional, ethical, structural, functional, and technical restrictions researchers face
- Focuses on understanding how these restrictions influence research methods and results
- Makes concepts more accessible through discussions that follow the experiences of three "guides"—a high school principal, a statewide director of public health, and a sociology professor at a small liberal arts college.
The Tao of Research: A Path to Validity serves as either a main or supplemental text for courses such as Introduction to Research Methods, Social Research Methods, and Applied Research Methods.
Mary Lou Casadevall-Keller received her M.S. in microbiology from the University of Delaware, as well as a B.A. in sociology and a B.S. in plant science.

After corporate life, she worked to secure and monitor grants for community colleges and non-profit organizations. She and her husband, Dr. Dana Keller, are currently co-owners of a healthcare research consulting firm, Halcyon Research, Inc.
