With this book it is Silverman's explicit intention to go beyond basic texts on research methods and elicit an interest in the arguments within the field of qualitative inquiry. In this sense, Silverman has achieved his goal of challenging accepted understandings of qualitative research methods.
David Silverman guides the reader along an enlightening pathway, exploring current issues relevant to studying the minutia of social life through naturalistic data.Sarah Seymour-SmithNottingham Trent University
A very short suggestion: read it immediately and discover how qualitative research is best carried out!Lars StrannegardStockholm School of Economics
This book really helps students debate and develop their own vision about Qualitative Research.
Students found the book enjoyable, and easy to digest, enabling a deeper understanding of qualitative research
What an amazing handy but information laden book on qualitative research.
interesting reading, that offers a new perspective on qualitative research, and some interesting reflections. However it requires knowledges that are too deep for the level of my students that are approaching qualitative research for the very first time
This publication is clear, concise, readable and very helpful to anyone wanting to know more about qualitative research.
This is a helpful book to give students an insight into qualitative methods. I recommend it to students as supplemental material.
This is an excellent introductory text to qualitative methodology I would recommend as an essentail text for MA Education students.
Good background ideal for MSc level student and dissertations for BSc. Student might not be up to this level of reading initially with BSc cohorts
A great book that demystifies qualitative research
Whilst a very interesting text, not suitable for the Module I was considering it for.
This book provides an uncommon introduction to doing and debating qualitative research by asking questions about the influence of contemporary culture on the process of collecting and interpreting data. Silverman demonstrates the questioning by reference to examples of different data kinds like photographs, novels, newspaper stories, websites and social media. Highly recommended
A wonderful book, essential for the students and PhD involved in qualitative research.
This is ideal for those who just want to engage with the basics in a swift way
It does not seem appropriate as a basic text to introduce my undergraduates to qualitative research.
Good all rounder. I would definitely recommend this book to introduce the idea of qualitative research to students.
Will be appropriate for some students.
A useful overview of qualitative research for beginners, very helpful.
I think this book is in a very different style to other research books and is not one you can dip into and out of. Some people will love it and some will find it difficult to get on with. I found it contained quite a bit of opinion that I did not agree with and the evidence was not included. The case studies and some fo the humour was attractive however.
