Reviews
This is an excellent book. It oozes quality! It's clear, accessible and covers a range of issues that are important for qualitative researchers. The research it showcases is first class, and the issue of applied psychology is a gap in the qualitative methods book market. * Dr Sarah Riley, Aberystwyth University, UK *
Overall this is an excellent text. The topic areas covered are of interest and diverse enough to create a broad appeal. The applied nature of the text is engaging and will prove useful to students given the wide coverage of subjects and approaches. * Dr Leanne Etheridge, Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK *
