Description

The second edition of this comprehensive guide to qualitative data collection and analysis has been substantially updated and expanded, and the sequence rearranged to follow the progress of the typical research project: gathering, focusing and analysing data. An increased number of applications and examples are included: new introductory and concluding chapters; and an easy-to-follow outline format which helps the reader to gauge the importance of a topic and its relationship to the subject matter as a whole. This book should be of interest to degree and diploma students on courses in social research, introductory sociology and field research methods.
