This review examines John W. Creswell and David Creswell’s sixth edition, which covers the most popular research methods, offering readers a comprehensive understanding and practical guidance in qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods. The review includes observations on existing drawbacks, gaps, and ideas on potential areas for improvement in the book. The book is an excellent entry point for understanding the three broad research designs. It stands out for incorporating various methods and empowering researchers to effectively align them with specific research questions, objectives, and philosophical underpinnings. However, it could be further refined by incorporating newer research approaches and expanding practical aspects such as data collection, sampling strategies, and data analysis techniques. With these improvements, the sixth edition could further solidify its position as a comprehensive and accessible guide adeptly catering to researchers, educators, and students. Despite the book’s many strengths, there are opportunities for refinement in future editions, incorporating newer approaches to research designs and expanding practical aspects such as data collection, sampling strategies, and data analysis techniques. This review highlights that, with these suggested improvements, future editions could not only maintain but also enhance the text’s comprehensive and accessible nature, further solidifying its status as a vital resource for researchers, educators, and student.

I have Australian and US citizenship and plan on travelling from Georgia via Abkhazia to Russia. Has anyone actually crossed this border at the Inguri River? Once I have my Abkhazian "visa" permit, should I expect any real problems? Should I expect to have to pay bribes?

I am aware that this border crossing cannot be done in reverse which is why I will have a Russian "single entry visa" to leave at the other end at the Psou border crossing with Russia.

I understand the rules may be quite different for citizens of Georgia and Russia so I'm really interested if somebody has experience crossing this border as a foreigner (particularly citizens of Australia or United States).

Thanks for your advice.

Thanks for your help and suggestions, I've read the border near Vladikavkaz is closed to non Russian or Georgian citizens if not it would be handy and spectacular since I'm heading to Vladikavkaz after Abkhazia.

Please note, that it is forbidden to enter Georgia after visiting Abkhazia or South Ossetia. Will try to find out about the border post regime.

Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Louie. from New Zealand.

Im Louie from New Zealand. Do you actually need a visa to go from Georgia to Abkhazia ? I thought it was a province of Georgia, or maybe Russians have taken it back.

I'm Emily- I am hoping to do this same trip. Yes you do need a visa- according to Georgian rules you don't but once you enter Abkhazia you are "unofficially" under Abkhazian rules, whether Georgia agrees or not, you won't make it across the border without a permit. I recommend reading up on it in the Lonely Planet guide but it involves contacting the Abkhazian ministry of foreign affairs http://www.mfaabkhazia.net about a month before you leave, obtaining a faxed or emailed permit for the dates you intend on staying and then getting it stamped at the border- this permits you to get in but you must then head to Sukhumi to sort out your visa in person before leaving (this next step will permit you to leave). Russia and Abkhazia a good neighbours and Russia has attempted to take Abkhazia under its wing but it is officially part of Georgia. Russians may visit Abkhazia without a visa but everyone else needs one even though it is not the official law in Georgia.

Hope this helps. When you do go on your trip, could you let me know how you go? as I am doing this same trip in July/August.

PS visa is not expensive- just a bit of work

Thats great thanks Emily ! I'm expecting to be in and out of Georgia within about 10 days during the month of June. So I will be able to let you know. I have heard the people from the Caucuses are about the most hospitable folks in the world and I hope to see some dance. If you have ever seen it on Youtube ? I think it will be the best thing ever. Of course the NZ government travel advisory says don't go there. So that information tells me I will definatly have the best time there and its probably the safest place to be. I'll keep in touch :) Louie

I don't know if this is helpful at all but you can check out this website

look at the Tourist information tab they have couple travel agencies info there maybe they can help!

Allan Kadkoy
