"I used the first edition of this book in my graduate qualitative
methods class, and I look forward to using the second edition this
fall. The changes are excellent. The text is even more readable and
comprehensive, it has been up-dated, and includes all the topics
pertinent to understanding and doing Communication qualitative
research. The new edition contains exercises and many examples and
exemplars, a well as new chapters on computer mediated qualitative
research and on authoring and writing."
*Carolyn Ellis*
"The first edition of Qualitative Communication Research Methods
set a high standard for accessibility, thoroughness, and depth. The
second edition takes that standard even higher. Lindlof and Taylor
have written a complete text that addresses the theory and
technique of qualitative research across a breadth of approaches
with substantive and illuminating examples drawn from a variety of
topical areas. The writing is exemplary—engaging, careful and dead
on. The authors address the problems and controversies of research
without bogging down in indecision or glossing to happy endings.
The pedagogy is solid. This is a book for the practitioner and the
student. It is a "go to" text."
*James Anderson*
