Reviews
Bren Neale, one of the world's foremost authorities on qualitative longitudinal research, is the perfect author for this volume. She brings a wealth of accumulated expertise and insight into this elegant, multidisciplinary overview of a challenging form of inquiry. The scholarship is rigorous yet accessible for researchers interested in conducting long-term studies of human and social development through time. * Johnny Saldana, Professor Emeritus, Arizona State University, USA *
Qualitative longitudinal research illuminates relationships between biography and history. At modest cost, it complements large-scale cohort studies by providing, in particular, unique insights into causal processes. Bren Neale has provided a much needed guide to the key conceptual, methodological and practical issues in carrying out QL research. This book will be a huge help to everyone setting out on the QL path. * Andrew Pollard, Professor of Education, UCL Institute of Education, University College London, UK, and the University of Bristol, UK *
