Recensione:

Eriksson and Kovalainen have improved on what was already a very useful and usable guide to the theory and application of a range of qualitative methods. All the five new chapters add considerably to the book, but the chapters on content analysis and breaking field boundaries are particularly enlightening. This will be my go to book for research and teaching.
