Recent Product Reviews:
“This book uses everyday language that will captivate students’ attention and embed practical knowledge to supplement the technical.”
Gaetane Jean-Marie, University of Oklahoma
“The key strengths of the text are the passion and the enthusiasm that Dr. Maxwell has for qualitative research after all these years. I feel I can also utilize these concepts on my own research team and take them out of the classroom and into research team meetings with colleagues.”
Deborah Gioia, University of Maryland, Baltimore
“I really liked this book. I found myself taking notes and saying “yes” so many times because Maxwell captures the research process so well and provides many points worth quoting. As a faculty mentor, I particularly see the value of this book for my students who are conducting qualitative dissertations.”
Mary S. Enright, Capella University
"Maxwell provides a clear explanation regarding the nuances involved in the circular process of qualitative research design."
