Heuristic Research: Design, Methodology, and Applications

I chose a qualitative method for a research proposal and wanted to examine the data in a detailed, personal way. I purchased many books about various qualitative methods, but all of them failed to assist me. I finally came upon this book, and the author clearly outlined what is involved with this form of research--heuristic inquiry. It totally changed how I looked at the the transcripts of my participants, and assisted me in extracting rich themes and descriptions. I highly recommend this book to those who are serious about qualitative research, e.g., heuristic research, and are willing to do all that is required to complete a thesis or dissertation that they can be proud of for years to come.
