Beginning Qualitative Research

First it provides a strong theoretical base for the understanding of competing research paradigms. Secondly it features a methods section consistent with the non-linear nature of naturalistic inquiry yet it allows the beginner to see direction. Thirdly the authors include examples of actual research studies conducted (and completed) in a single year.
