David Silverman, A Very Short, Fairly Interesting and Reasonably Cheap Book about Qualitative Research, Second Edition
David Silverman′s second edition provides a refreshing introduction to doing and debating qualitative research. An antidote to the standard textbook, this new edition shows how research can be methodologically inventive, empirically rigorous, theoretically-alive and practically relevant.

Using materials ranging from photographs to novels and newspaper stories, the book demonstrates that getting to grips with qualitative methods means asking ourselves fundamental questions about how we are influenced by contemporary culture. By drawing on examples from websites and social media in the new edition, Silverman′s text acknowledges how our social worlds are changing and explores new arenas for data collection. A new Glossary of Received Ideas aims to challenge conventional understandings of terms central to qualitative research and will inform, amuse and stimulate readers.

[Titus Hjelm]

A great, informal book from the man who's name is synonymous with 'qualitative research'. Despite the publisher's claims to the contrary I wouldn't recommend this to a complete beginner. It's clear and lucid, but better read with a basic knowledge of qualitative methods--easily gained from Silverman's other books.

[David Eastborne · Rating 4 out of 5]

More theoretical than practical, but a good overview

[Kin · Rating 4 out of 5]

ควรแปลเป็นไทยเป็นอย่างยิ่ง ว่าด้วยพื้นฐานการทำงานวิจัยคุณภาพอย่างมีคุณภาพ เคยอ่านตำราของ silverman อันนั้นคือตำราเลย แต่เล่มนี้เหมือนเป็น autobiography ทางวิชาการ ซึ่งยังคงความวิชาการอยู่ แต่อ่านง่าย และชวนคิดประเด็นซับซ้อนจำนวนมากได้สนุกแบบที่หาได้น้อยมากๆ ในภาษาไทย
