摘要：D oing Qualitative Research From Start to Finish is an important contribution which provides a framework for students and novice researchers to experience steps of qualitative research. The au- thor has used a friendly diction with many exam- ples helping the audience with smooth reading and understanding the concepts. Jargons have not been used excessively and the text, rather than playing with words, aims to put the reader in the atmo- sphere of actual qualitative inquiry. A key stated concern of the author is that the best way to learn more about a qualitative research is to acquire it in action, that is, when an actual qualitative research study is conducted. The book comprises 12 chapters organized in four main parts: Understanding qual- itative research, focusing on fundamental issues and concepts; Doing qualitative research, address- ing the practice of dealing with the data; Present- ing the results from qualitative research, discuss- ing issues of displaying and writing qualitative re- search reports; and Taking qualitative research one step further, placing it within the broader realm of social science research. On the whole, the volume illustrates from scratch what a qualitative study in- volves and, as the title implies, presents an A to Z of qualitative research in an admirable manner.
