[Dr. Tathagat Varma · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good overview of the most important issues around designing qualitative research. While the book doesn't really go deep into any of them, it provides a useful quick horizontal view of the vast field of qualitative research, which isn't often well-understand, especially by the quantitative researchers.
