This is a great text on the subject. Kudos to the authors!, An excellent, detailed and clear guide for anyone seeking further knowledge about qualitative inquiry., Creswell and Poth's newly revised edition of Qualitative 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., 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 bring clear guidelines to the area of qualitative research - an excellent resource for building the framework for a successful qualitative study., 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.
