Written by leaders of qualitative methodology and edited by one of the biggest names in the field, this book provides up-to-date and interdisciplinary insight into a range of qualitative methods. Bringing together different perspectives, contributors discuss theoretical underpinnings of these methods before taking readers through the process of each approach and helping them develop skills needed to carry out this type of research autonomously and with confidence.

Full of practical tips, exercises and summaries, this book continues to be a masterclass in qualitative research for students and researchers across the social sciences and beyond.
This book of readings provides us with a wealth of varied advice enlightening the researcher about the exciting world of qualitative research. I recommend the book without hesitation.
David Silverman’s Qualitative Research , now in its 5 th edition, is a storehouse of readily accessible approaches to doing qualitative research. it combines in depth focus with broad coverage – an essential resource for researchers requiring up to date advice on the latest approaches to this burgeoning field of research and study.
The fifth edition of this advanced reader in qualitative methods has retained and added to its stunning line-up of authors, increasing and updating its breadth and depth to present leading accounts of the fast moving field of social media analysis and the use of video and other visual data, in addition to a wide range of other methods used by qualitative researchers. This book will really help qualitative researchers think through and enhance their practice and I recommend it
It provided me with ideas for further research in my field based on vi sual methods, internet communication, ethnography, and focus groups.
Accessible, informative, extensive topic coverage
An excellent resource
Well thought out chapters. I feel like this is a book version of a research supervisor for qualitative research!
