O'Reilly and Kiyimba's thorough and thoughtful book will be a great help to qualitative researchers looking for guidance in the 'why' of their research method. In navigating the reefs of theory that underlie empirical method, this book provides a welcome and valuable compass. -- Charles Antaki This invaluable book offers a wonderfully clear and accessible overview of the often confusing theories informing contemporary qualitative methods. It is also packed with valuable examples and case studies that illuminate the process, methods and application of qualitative research. -- Alexa Hepburn
