'The book covers such a diverse range of material and there are so many practical tips provided, that it is useful - as the title suggests - as a companion for those conducting or teaching research' - "Nurse Researcher". This exciting companion provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the latest writing on every aspect of qualitative research. "A Companion to Qualitative Research" draws on the work of an array of leading scholars from Europe, Britain and North America, to present a summary of every aspect of the qualitative research process from nuts-and-bolts methods and research styles, to examinations of methodological theory and epistemology. It is one of the few surveys of qualitative research to adopt a genuinely international voice. The Companion includes an introduction to the field. It provides examples of how key researchers, from Garfinkel to Geertz, carried out their research and examines the nature of their legacy. It investigates different methodological and epistemological approaches to the act of researching. It takes the classic methods available to the researcher and asks what the thinking is behind choosing to use such methods. It is a how-to guide to the actual process of gathering research data in the field. It introduces the reader to important practical issues such as ethics and teaching in research. It provides the reader with practical information about methods literature, and guides the reader on how to study methods, and use databases and the Internet in qualitative research. Easy to use, "A Companion to Qualitative Research" presents a concise and systematic introduction. Recent developments, such as the use of computers and the internet, and the analysis of visual materials are covered at length, as are the future challenges for qualitative research. Essential reading for students, researchers and practitioners alike, the Companion will serve as a comprehensive textbook for any student embarking on a research methods course, and at the same will be an invaluable reference book for active researchers and practitioners.
