I found myself taking notes and saying yes so many times because Maxwell captures the research process so well and provides many points worth quoting. As a faculty mentor I particularly see the value of this book for my students who are conducting qualitative dissertations.<br /> -Mary S. Enright <i>Capella University</i></p>The text is incredibly engaging and practical...So many of the issues raised in the book are central to qualitative research yet often not explicitly discussed in 'public' venues.<br /> - David Carlone <em>The University of North Carolina at Greensboro<br /></em><br />I particularly like the interactive focus and believe that helps students to more realistically engage qualitative research design. It certainly lives up to its billing as a good guidebook and I appreciate the fact that the author really concentrates on useful content exercises insights and examples and leaves extensive theory discussions to others.<br /> - Sharon L.
