Publisher's Synopsis
A new edition of this book is available
`Ideal for anyone wishing to understand fully the theoretical constructs behind the qualitative research methodology′ - Journal of Family Studies
`The inclusion of examples, summary points and further reading is to be commended and adds to the clarity of an already clear and easy to understand text. The strength of the book lies not only in the clarity with which it is written but in the use of examples and tables.... I would have no problem in recommending this text equally to both pre and post-registration students of nursing, and also to students studying for higher degrees as a useable text which is easy to read and contains a vast amount of information which is logically presented′ - Nurse Researcher
`Flick′s An Introduction to Qualitative Research is quite simply the most important text on qualitative research methods in the world today. I continue to envy Flick′s command of the field and its ever-expanding literature, much of which he has managed to include in his new edition′ - Norman K Denzin, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
This Second Edition of Uwe Flick′s bestselling textbook retains all of the student-friendly elements and carefully structured and thought-through qualities of the first edition, but with much more besides. As a consequence, this book should preserve its status as the essential introductory text for all students of qualitative research.
Each chapter has been fully updated in terms of references and reading lists, and an entirely new section on Recent and Further Developments has been written, including chapters on: Computers in Qualitative Research; Qualitative and Quantitative Research; Quality in Qualitative Research; and The Future of Qualitative Research.
