Edited By
Constance Fischer, Duquesne University, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.

Description
This collection of 14 original articles teaches readers how to conduct qualitative research. Instead of characterizing and justifying certain methods, the contributors show by means of actual research studies what assumptions, procedures, and dilemmas they encountered. Fischer's introduction, which emphasizes the practical nature of qualitative research and the closing chapter, which uses a question-and-answer format to investigate, among other subjects, what is scientific about qualitative research, are complemented by a glossary and other features that increase the book's utility and value.

Audience
Scientific researchers, academics, and research professionals in applied settings in the social sciences.
