Introducing Qualitative Research Reviews

An ideal starter text for students, novice researches and practitioners who are new to the qualitative research field. -- Karen Spilsbury

'In this second edition, Rose Barbour guides the reader through the qualitative research journey, in what is arguably one of the most comprehensive guides available...She simultaneously demystifies qualitative research whilst reiterating the expertise and skill which qualitative researchers must possess. For anyone who undertakes qualitative research - postgraduate students in particular - this book would be an indispensible addition to the bookshelf.'
