Twenty six year old Emma March seems as knowledgeable as her employer, Jeff Graham, when it comes to selling antiques in the shop where she works. The action begins when she stumbles upon the body of a rich collector on the shop floor. For a while everyone is suspect, even Emma herself. With help from her would-be criminologist boyfriend Hank, she uncovers clues and bravely follows leads in an effort to solve the crime.Dean, writing in the 1930s, gives us some insight into what it was like to be a single woman living in a big city toward the end of the Great Depression. Emma lives alone, is financially self sufficient, and is able to hold her own against male barbs and putdowns when she joins the boys sipping scotch in the shop's basement. She also is given to insights and ruminations about human nature, particularly of the male variety.This is not a fast paced story, but a nicely written one. There is only brief mention of the effects of the Depression, and nothing about larger political events. Nineteen thirties Boston, however, is fully described. In a way the city become a character on its own.

Provides the knowledge and tools needed for the future of survey research The survey research discipline faces unprecedented challenges, such as falling response rates, inadequate sampling frames, and antiquated approaches and tools. Addressing this changing landscape, Social Media, Sociality, and Survey Research introduces readers to a multitude of new techniques in data collection in one of the fastest developing areas of survey research. The book is organized around the central idea of a "sociality hierarchy" in social media interactions, comprised of three levels: broadcast, conversational, and community based. Social Media, Sociality, and Survey Research offers balanced coverage of the theory and practice of traditional survey research, while providing a conceptual framework for the opportunities social media platforms allow. Demonstrating varying perspectives and approaches to working with social media, the book features: <ul>
<li>New ways to approach data collection using platforms such as Facebook and Twitter</li> <li>Alternate methods for reaching out to interview subjects</li> <li>Design features that encourage participation with engaging, interactive surveys</li> </ul>
Social Media, Sociality, and Survey Research is an important resource for survey researchers, market researchers, and practitioners who collect and analyze data in order to identify trends and draw reliable conclusions in the areas of business, sociology, psychology, and population studies. The book is also a useful text for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level courses on survey methodology and market research.
