This review is from: Qualitative Data Analysis: An Expanded Sourcebook(2nd Edition) (Paperback)

As an advisor of doctoral students, I keep several copies of this book on the shelf so I always have one on hand to loan to students. I find it a very useful resource for students who are planning qualitative research.

This review is from: Qualitative Data Analysis: An Expanded Sourcebook(2nd Edition) (Paperback)

As a first time qualitative researcher, I found this book indispensible during my data analysis. It clearly explains multiple analytic techniques, providing the researcher with many alternatives to use in developing conclusions. The descriptions are easy to understand and supported by insightful examples. If you are looking for a roadmap to guide you through qualitative research, this is the GPS of qualitative data analysis.

This review is from: Qualitative Data Analysis: An Expanded Sourcebook(2nd Edition) (Paperback)

I am working on my dissertation. This book got me out of my thinking chair and to my writing desk. The philosophical approach to qualitative research is very contemporary and will take us into whole new areas of research to improve and 'polish' humanity. My only objection is the cost. Does a book like this really have to cost over $60? Too much.
