Structure provides a pathway for coherence," from Isaac's Qualitative Pathways for Publication defines the text. Experienced and novice researchers hoping to avoid a false sense of rigor, a "fast food" qualitative approach, are given tools, referencing seminal authors in the field, to conduct sound qualitative research worthy of publication. Looking to bridge the quant/qual divide, Isaac identified a need and filled it brilliantly!
