A clear and enjoyable guide to ethnographic fieldwork particularly on macro and micro-levels of analysis and structured, semi-structured and unstructured interviews

Author's personable voice came through clearly in their writing and their advice on analysing and coding fieldwork notes as well as academic and practical writing were helpful
