[Leslie Barr]

Helpful for my child development class.

[Curtis Chamblee]

Good Book needed for my qualitative class.

[Bojan Fürst]

So basic that it is almost useless. On the other hand, if you just want something you can follow as a recipe book - this is sort of it.

[Velda]

Easy to read and understand.

[Josiah Aston]

Good practical overview of case study research. Provides many additional resources one might use to delve more deeply into it.

[Amber]

[Karu]
