Summary: Creswell: Qualitative Inquiry & Research Design
Comment: This is as succinct a review for qualitative reserach as I have ever read in my limited experience. I recommend this book to all doctoral students and researchers who need to brush up on qualitative techniques.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Excellent "how to" book for qualitative research
Comment: Creswell is truly an expert on qualitative inquiry, evidenced by his ability to break down the information into concepts that are easy to digest. I am beginning to draft the research proposal for my dissertation (PhD in Psychology), and this book has been a tremendous help in selecting the methodology that best fits my research problem. If you are just beginning your dissertation or if you need scientific guidelines to stay on track, this book is well worth the reasonable price.
Customer Rating:
Summary: basic foundation for beginning research students
Comment: This book is helpful in explaining the different approaches to qualitative methods. The comparison charts in the book helps you to compare and contrast against the methods and helps in choosing a method to undertake your research study.
Customer Rating:
Summary: introductory survey text
Comment: This book would be best used as an introduction to qualitative research methods. It provides a broad overview of five qualitative strategies; however, if you are thinking of conducting qualitative research, this text is insufficient.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Look for the new edition
Comment: We need this book for our masters in educational psych. I understand there is now a 2nd edition, 2007 we should be asking for. I'll order this one I guess directly from school.
Hope this helps.

This book explores the philosophical underpinnings, history and key elements of five qualitative inquiry traditions: biography, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography and case study. John W Creswell relates research designs to each of the traditions of inquiry and compares each of the research strategies for theoretical frameworks, writing introduction to studies, collecting data, analyzing data, writing the narrative, and employing standards of quality and verifying results. Five journal articles in the appendix offer fascinating reading as well as examples of the five different qualitative designs.
