Kara Introduces qualitative research in a pragmatic, creative and cross-border way, giving specific tools to quantitative researchers. Learners are encouraged to innovate and to use the flexibility of the approach, with amazing research cases from around the world that were useful in diverse professional contexts.
I really like how this book is written, in simple text and in chunks that are easily digestible. It is also novel that it is written from the viewpoint of coming from a quantitative background. A good read when starting out qualitative research- recommended.
The range of topics and ease of reading make this a great text for my doctoral students as an introduction to qualitative research approaches.
Excellent material to help support those on both mixed method routes and those from compulsory education routes looking to interpretivist models of research

Simplified book which makes it easy to read and understand. It is highly recommended to both undergraduate and postgraduate students .
A novel way of looking at mixed methods.
