Customer Reviews

Very good book on qualitative research

The authors have put together a compact but thorough review of qualitative research oriented to studying children. Those interested in qualitative research will benefit, even if one does not use it for studying children. However, those studying children will get more out of it, given its focus. The concepts are covered succinctly, but with suffiecnt depth to provide a basic understanding. One will want to use supplemental material for their needs or areas of interest, but as a basic core text, this is a good one.
