This book is a step-by-step guide to the whole process of conducting a scientific study: from designing the original project, formulating testable hypotheses, and collecting and analysing the data, to drawing conclusions from the work and writing it up as a scientific report or paper. It also illustrates how to write a formal research proposal - a crucial 606 $aCaptive wild animals$xResearch 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCaptive wild animals$xResearch. 676 $a636.088/9 700 $aRees$b Paul A.$0102560 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460144503321 996 $aStudying captive animals$91941329 997 $aUNINA
