Recenzii

“TheFourth EditionofQualitative Inquiry and Research Designis refreshingly readable and will be accessible to students of all levels. This is a great text on the subject. Kudos to the authors!"
“In my teaching experience, I have found this to be the best text for teaching an introductory course in qualitative research, as it demonstrates in a clear and systematic manner how qualitative research can be undertaken in the five most popular approaches in contemporary applied social science research.”
“I have been using Creswell’s text since I studied the first edition as a student myself, and every edition has been a notable improvement on what was already an excellent book. I have yet to see another book that packs in as much vital information with such clarity and friendly writing.”
“Creswell and Poth’s newly revised edition ofQualitative Inquiry and Research Designrepresents an accessible yet in-depth resource for developing an understanding of both the main approaches to qualitative research in the social sciences, as well as the wide variation across and beyond these approaches.”
“Creswell and Poth bring clear guidelines to the area of qualitative research – an excellent resource for building the framework for a successful qualitative study.”
“An excellent, detailed and clear guide for anyone seeking further knowledge about qualitative inquiry.”
