The Qualitative Researcher's Companion
April 2002 | 424 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
There is no longer any question that qualitative inquiry is fundamental to the enterprise of social science research, with a broad reach and a history all its own. This book seeks to introduce—to reintroduce—readers to selections that provide a solid intellectual grounding in the area of qualitative research. Thoughtfully and painstakingly culled from over a thousand candidate articles by co-editors A. Michael Huberman and the late Matthew B. Miles (co-authors of the seminal Qualitative Data Analysis), The Qualitative Researcher's Companion examines the theoretical underpinnings, methodological perspectives, and empirical approaches that are crucial to the understanding and practice of qualitative inquiry. Incisive, provocative, and drawn from across the many disciplines that employ qualitative inquiry, The Qualitative Researcher's Companion is a key addition to the bookshelf of anyone involved in the research act.

This is a book that will provide students with additional reading for their thesis and other assignments. It is contemporary, and user friendly. It will challenge the students to think outside the book as regards some aspects of qualitative research. It gives a good grounding to qualitative reserach. Interesting and inspiring.
