"This is a book about doing good qualitative research in the social sciences. In weaving together contributions by over forty experts, it presents a comprehensive approach to qualitative research by providing practical advice on carrying out a qualitative research project from start (i.e., finding the research question) to finish (i.e., finding a publishing venue). The chapters are short, accessibly written, and simultaneously engage with theoretical considerations and best practices.
