    • Summary:"Written in an informal, jargon-free style, [this book] provides researchers and students with a user-friendly, step-by-step guide to planning qualitative research. It shows how the components of design interact with each other, and provides a strategy for creating coherent and workable relationships among these design components, highlighting key design issues. The text offers an original, innovative model of design based on a systemic rather than a linear or typological strucure, which is well suited for designing studies and writing research proposals"--P. [4] of cover.
      "Incorporates examples and hands-on exercises"--Publisher's website.
