Rediscovering Grounded Theory

It answers questions such as 'What should grounded theory look like?', 'How do I recognise grounded theory?' and 'How do I produce good grounded theory?' by returning to the original ideas as they were presented by Glaser and Strauss.
Sharp, clear and thought-provoking, the book includes:
- Detailed analysis of the current literature
- Exemplar sections filled with detailed, real world examples and applications
- A detailed glossary
It will provide you with a grasp of what a grounded theory should look like, take you through the process of building a grounded theory and then explain best practice for critically evaluating the quality of grounded theory research.
Useful to complement key texts
This is the most pedagogically accomplished book on grounded theory I know of - clearly useful for undergraduate students. It will be included in recommended reading not only in the "From Theory to Research Results in Peace and Conflict Studies" course but also in the subsequent course "Bachelor Thesis", March-June 2015 (both in Peace and Conflict Studies programme at Malmö University). The library will be asked to also buy it as E-book if possible.
A really useful and easy to read book. Very specific to one type of research therefore only suggested to those students who want to embark on grounded theory.
A worth reading book on grounded theory! The authors offer a valuable critique of grounded theory, and in particular of constructivist grounded theory. They do engage with issues that few grounded theories explore in depth. For those who first read the discovery book, this new book will clarify a number of fuzzy concepts.
Clear and constructive advice and discussion which offers the reader an interesting insight as well as practical skill to progress from text to research in action.
A helpful bland of theory and practical application.
Excellent book. I found it very useful to explain the main motive to retrieve Grounded Theory methodology in order to do research.
