Research Methods

This book is primarily intended to provide an introduction to criminology as an academic degree subject area of study for first year students at Higher Education institutions in Wales. This was the impetus to develop a comprehensive academic textbook in Welsh that would introduce students to critical aspects of pursuing and studying criminology for themselves. As well as offering the resource in the Welsh language, the volume also asks students to relate theories of criminology within the context of crime in contemporary Wales.

This Welsh-medium e-textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the process of planning and conducting research. Aimed primarily at Psychology undergraduates, it accompanies Welsh-medium research method and dissertation modules. It is also a useful resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students in a wide range of other subjects. The authors of the textbook are Dr Awel Vaughan-Evans, Dr Gwennant Evans-Jones and Emma Hughes-Parry.

The meddwl.org website was set up in November 2016, and is run by a small group of volunteers, to try to address the lack of Welsh-medium information available to help people living with a mental health condition, and their families and friends. This is the first website of its kind that contains information on mental health issues exclusively through the medium of Welsh. Everyone has mental health. meddwl.org is a place to get support and information, and to read and share mental health experiences – all through the medium of Welsh.

This material presents an account of China by naturalist and traveller Thomas Pennant (1726–98). The work forms part of Pennant's multivolume manuscript 'Outlines of the Globe', kept at the National Maritime Museum.
