Review

[This book] is an accessible and invaluable resource for students and academics alike. It is of particular use to those engaging with a multi method design as in addition to providing an introduction to qualitative analysis the book also provides guidance on how to manage and present data from multiple sources
Qualitative Research

Very often, textbooks on research methods remain confined to issues of data collec-tion and data analysis without paying much attention to knowledge traditions andtheir claims to understanding. The present book marks a valuable departure from this general trend by taking on board both theoretical and practical issues that under-pin research...What is noteworthy about the book is its awareness ofthe contentious nature of various research traditions. It reiterates the valued methodological wisdom that ultimately it is one’s research question that should dictate the methods one is going to employ in one’s study. But exercising an option pre-supposes certain knowledge of the pros and cons of various research methodologies–something this book imparts to its readers in lucid abundance. Qualitative Data Analysis will prove to be an essential practical guide to students pursuing researchmethods in undergraduate classrooms
