Muses and Measures: Empirical Research Methods for the Humanities

This twelve-chapter book is an extraordinarily valuable addition to ahandful of books that can be used to learn or teach empirical research methodology in the humanities. And it is the only one that I know of that is dedicated to empirical methodologies in the humanities. The closest parallel with which I am very familiar is Hatch and Lazaraton's Research Manual: Design and Statistics for Applied Linguistics, an excellent but unfortunately out-of-print introduction mostly to empirical research in language acquisition and learning.
