Reading the chapters is like sitting at the feet of one of the masters. </p>--Kathleen A. Bolland, The University of Alabama<br><br>I can't emphasize enough the quality, detail, and depth of the presentation of research design and methods... Students and experienced researchers will appreciate the depth of presentation of potential qualitative paradigms, theoretical orientations and frameworks as well as special methodological applications that are often not covered in other qualitative texts.</p>--Susan S. Manning, University of Denver<br><br>It is refreshing to see a text that engages the multiple philosophical and historical trajectories within a qualitative research tradition while integrating this discussion so well with the practice of research design, fieldwork strategies, and data analysis.</p>--Michael P. O'Malley, Texas State University<br><br>Very thoughtful and thorough coverage of qualitative design and study.--Kari O′Grady Ph.D, Loyola University Maryland<br>
