Product Description `Clear and incisive, this valuable text needs to be on every qualitative researcher’s bookshelf. What could be handier? I recommend it to anyone in the trade for its seasoned good sense and advice' - Jay Gubrium, University of Missouri `David Silverman has drawn on his enormous experience in writing, teaching and using qualitative research methods to produce a book that lays bare key dilemmas and confronts questions that qualitative researchers often avoid' - Jonathan Potter, Loughborough University This is the book which everybody doing a research project has been waiting for. Writing in an informal and accessible style, David Silverman offers the reader an entry into the broader issues of qualitative research that many textbooks gloss over - the underlying arguments of qualitative research and the key debates about its future direction. Silverman shows how good research can be methodologically inventive, empirically rigorous, theoretically-alive and practically relevant. Using fascinating materials, ranging from photographs to novels and newspaper stories, this book demonstrates that getting to grips with these issues means asking ourselves fundamental questions about how we are influenced by contemporary culture. David Silverman provides an antidote to the boring textbook, which is relevant to any degree course on research methods. Brilliantly written and always challenging and entertaining, this book will challenge your perceptions and help you think `out of the box' about the nature and process of doing qualitative research.

Product Description Sage is proud to announce the publication of the Handbook of Qualitative Research, Second Edition. Once again, editors Norman K. Denzin and Yvonna S. Lincoln have put together a volume that represents the state of the art for the theory and practice of qualitative inquiry. Built on the foundation of the landmark first edition, published in 1994, the second edition is both the bridge and the roadmap to the territory that lies ahead for researchers across the disciplines. The second edition is a significant revision - in fact, it is virtually a new work. It features six new chapter topics, including, among others, autoethnography, critical race theory, applied ethnography, queer theory, and testimonials. Another fifteen chapters are written by new contributors. And every chapter in the book has been thoroughly revised and updated. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, it is necessary to re-engage the promise of qualitative research as a generative form of inquiry. The Second Edition of the Handbook reveals how the discourses of qualitative research can be used to imagine and create a free and democratic society. Groundbreaking, thought-provoking, comprehensive and featuring the contributions of a virtual Who's Who in the human sciences. The Handbook of Qualitative Research, Second Edition is absolutely an essential text for the library of any scholar interested in the art and science of research. Customer reviews Great book! by ..

Amazing book. It is a "must have" for any qualitative researcher or research student.
Critical book for research design by .. Tsami ()
This was a required text for one of my graduate Professional Communication classes. If I lost it, I would have to buy another one because it's that good. And these text books are expensive. My professors have entire libraries at their disposal, and they chose this particular book for one of their courses. 'nuff said.

The contents are a little complex but comprehensive. It is a perfect book for my academic research.

Es como una Biblia para los investigadores que quieren aprender sobre la investigación cualitativa
A compendium of qualitative research: Absolute gold! by .. Odwora Jaki (Johannesburg, South Africa)
I bumped on to this book accidentally in a library while seeking for a book on qualitative research. Being a novice in qualitative research I spend the next week reading it everyday to get my first glimps into what qualitative research is. It is absolute gold for two reasons:
- It content is topical and up todate. Even for a beginner it is absolutely readable. The content is not lost in academic jargons but simple everyday English.
- The detailed bibliography speaks for itself and what is more it is given after every section. It allows the researcher to find more information elsewhere.
I have decided that it is a book one should own in his or her private library.
Thank you.

Product Description `A great basic book, which can be used by the novice qualitative researcher. The advice is friendly, almost folksy with clear conceptual explanation of how the program works. A very welcome contribution to this field' Martha Ann Carey, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York This book invites readers to learn how to use qualitative data analysis software in the context of doing their research project. The reader follows basic steps for creating and conducting a real project with real data, using the new-generation software package, QSR NVivo. The software tools are introduced only as needed and explained in the framework of what is being asked. The reader is the craftsperson, trialling those tools in the processes of getting started, tentative interpretation, drawing links, shaping data, and seeking and establishing explanations and theories. The NVivo Qualitative Project Book allows the researcher to work through their own project, or work with data provided from a real project. The authors draw on decades of experience of research and training researchers around the world, and take the reader through each step in a style combining informality and authority, with frequent tips and reflections on what is being done. Demonstration software is provided on the enclosed CD-ROM, with data to help create (a researcher's project) a project about researchers and researching, and with multiple stages arranged sequentially in the development of a real project. As a practical tool to help researchers understand qualitative data analysis software using NVivo, and a guide through the sometimes complex processes of doing a research project, this book will be invaluable reading for researchers and students undertaking qualitative research. Pat Bazeley provides training and consulting services in research design and data analysis through her company, Research Support. Lyn Richards is Director of Research Services at Qualitative Solutions and Research, the developers of NUD·IST and NVivo software. NVivo is distributed by Scolari, Sage Publications Software.

Product Description Completing Your Qualitative Dissertation fills an important gap in qualitative research literature by specifically addressing the fast-growing practice of qualitative master's studies and doctoral dissertations in colleges and universities throughout the world. Many students struggle with turning qualitative research projects into a master's thesis or doctoral dissertation because the research itself is inherently messy. To address this challenge, authors Linda Dale Bloomberg and Marie Volpe have distilled decades of experience into a first-of-its-kind, highly practical reference for graduate students. - Offers “roadmaps” in the form of tables, figures, and matrices. These are intended as “working tools” to clarify thinking, and to organize and present data.
- Presents an integrative summary discussion at the end of each chapter that highlights key concepts and issues raised in the chapter
- Provides comprehensive checklists at the end of each chapter to review what has been accomplished before proceeding to the subsequent chapter.
- Includes an annotated bibliography in each chapter for easy referral to additional relevant sources.
Completing Your Qualitative Dissertation is a must-have resource for any student contemplating a qualitative research project, thesis, or dissertation, and equally valuable to researchers undertaking and writing up their qualitative research. Early Praise for Completing Your Qualitative Dissertation “Bloomberg and Volpe wisely, caringly, and thoughtfully share their hard-earned experience and the experiences of many doctoral students’ journeys from diverse universities, which are profound. Their wisdom is offered in an easy-to-understand fashion and provides practical advice for doctoral students as they move forward in each and every step of their dissertation journeys. They speak eloquently to broad and intricate principles and nuances of qualitative research and to how to work with qualitative data. This is extremely valuable book and I suggest that you use it in your courses as you work to support your students-and your teaching. I will use it in mine. It is a gift!"
-Ellie Drago-Severson, Teachers College, Columbia University
“Working in the post-course limbo that is the dissertation stage is the hardest part of the life of a graduate student. Drawing on the experiences of doctoral students across the United States, Linda Dale Bloomberg and Marie Volpe aim to provide a practical and accessible guide to dealing with the obstacles and pitfalls that confront researchers as they struggle with writing a qualitative dissertation.”
-Stephen D. Brookfield, University of St. Thomas, Minneapolis-St Paul “Bloomberg and Volpe have written a refreshingly pragmatic, must-read text that is geared toward getting doctoral students back on the fast track to completing their qualitative dissertations. They expertly unveil the shroud of mysticism that surrounds the process of writing a qualitative dissertation by writing in a succinct, straightforward manner, providing concrete examples, and offering ample practical advice and hope. The ideas presented are extraordinarily clear and simple, yet comprehensive in breadth and profound in depth - precisely what's needed to complete a qualitative dissertation.”
-Julia Sloane, Founder of Sloan International Consulting “The dissertation study can seem, to many people, like the longest, loneliest, and most difficult open book exam that they will ever take. Bloomberg and Volpe give not just a clear roadmap, but a personal account of the journey - both of the research task and of the interpersonal and political processes that must be navigated to complete it. What I like best is that they do not stop with the dissertation document, but help the student think beyond the study to the publications and potential research streams that it may launch. This then is really a mentoring guide for new scholars, not just a great resource for students writing a dissertation.”
-Karen E. Watkins, University of Georgia “Bloomberg and Volpe’s Completing Your Qualitative Dissertation: A Roadmap From Beginning to End, is a must read for students committed to the wonderful and rewarding journey that transforms an idea requiring passionate research, into a dissertation that merits scholarly and confident completion. This work is an essential resource, and in it are meaningful lessons for all students serious about qualitative research.”
-John M. Carfora, Amherst College “This book does so much to de-mystify both the process of conducting qualitative research as well as writing a dissertation. Not only do I wish the book had been available when I was a student, but I wish all of my advisees had been able to have such a rich resource. This book will definitely be required reading and reference for my future students!”
-Barbara A. Macaulay, University of Massachusetts “Completing a qualitative research project can be a messy task for both experienced and inexperienced researchers, and for those who are working on their first qualitative project for their dissertation, the ambiguity can be a stopper. The authors “walk beside” their readers on this challenging learning journey, providing both concrete tools for bringing clarity to some of the conceptual challenges and practical suggestions for crafting a quality dissertation. I see this book as an invaluable aid for my students.”
-Ann K. Brooks, University of Texas, Austin Customer reviews This book was a huge help by .. J. Julian (New York)
The most daunting thing about doing a dissertation is that its both a mammoth task and a brand new one at the same time. I found this book incredibly helpful because it provided practical, seasoned advice in a way that helped me move forward, one step at a time, chapter by chapter. It provided the guidance I needed to remove the uncertainty and doubt that can be so paralyzing at times. They've obviously helped many people get their doctorate, and now I'm one of them!
Superb and straightforward textbook! by .. Julia A. Sloan (New York)
