Riassunto

Develops a view of case studies that draws from naturalistic, holistic, ethnographic, phenomenological, and biographic research methods to present a qualitative mode of inquiry into the single case, emphasizing episodes of nuance, the sequentiality of happenings in context, and the wholeness of the individual. The volume is written with student readers in mind, but not necessarily a particular course. Workshop activities are included at the end of each chapter. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
