Written in a lively, accessible style, Doing Qualitative Research, 3rd Edition provides a step-by-step guide to all the questions students ask when beginning their first research project.

- an updated chapter on computer-aided qualitative data analysis
- boxed tips and links to websites throughout the text
- an expanded index and glossary
- a companion website which includes further readings and exercises

Each stage in the research process is grounded in worked examples based on the experiences of real students, with exercises designed both to test readers' knowledge and to encourage the development of practical skills.

This hugely popular textbook is essential reading for anyone planning their own research project.

David Silverman is Professor Emeritus, Sociology Department, Goldsmiths College and Visiting Professor, Management Department, Kings College, University of London.
