Qualitative Interviewing

“This edition is at once simpler, and clearer yet more expansive and richer in content, examples and use.” -- Nancy Stanford Blair
“[The book] is somehow both more concise and more comprehensive than the Second Edition, providing a rich discussion of philosophy as well as design and analytic methods.

Johnson
