Reviews / Votes
'Rapley opens the door to beginning researchers to how everyday actions might be examined empirically...I hope that this book will encourage many more new qualitative researchers to pursue this kind of work, and be both 'deeply fascinated' and have 'fun' as Rapley clearly does in explaining it to others' - Qualitative ResearchMore details
