Qualitative Researching

Mason (Leeds U.) offers a reference for students of the social sciences that bridges the gap between cookbook texts and abstract theoretical discussions of methodology for qualitative research. She hopes to encourage readers to become excited and engaged in methodological issues, rather than passively following textbook recipes, by describing tools and modes of thinking intended to help them think themselves into the research process. The first edition was published in 1996. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
