Creswell has a clear writing style with a pleasant personality. He gives practical advice on each of the five qualitative research approaches (grounded theory, ethnographic, phenomenological, case study, and narrative approaches) without neglecting the epistemological bases of the approaches. It also has lots of useful examples and Creswell makes it evident that he benefited from feedback from students and from readers of the first edition.

| Book description |
|
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.
