I bought this book to help me with my dissertation. I found it so much easier to use than similar books that were in my University library. It's easy to follow and contains all the information I needed to write my methodology. Would definately recommend.

I was in full panic mode trying to get my dissertation together. I had bought several expensive (& long winded)books on qualitative research that I have since returned (panic buying) this is the book I should have had. Very straight forward, does state the obvious a little bit at times but and it is a big but......it is written in a ressuring style that makes the task seem not quite so gargantuan!!
