Professor Matt Jones is a Head of Science at Swansea University. His work has included studies and prototypes for mobile search and browsing; pedestrian navigation; and multi-modality. Since the early 2000s he has been actively pursuing a mobile research agenda focused on interfaces and interactions for "developing world" users, looking at how to address issues around lower computer and textual literacy and resource access. He has been awarded a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award for this work.
I read the chapters on research methods. These provided good general advice that concurred with my other research readings. However the authors do comment that there are better books out there on research design for mobile interaction. It actually is an interesting book for understanding the design of mobile technology.
