| Editorial Review | I think the key strengths of this text are its organization and breadth. From an organization perspective, the wealth of resources and focus is essential for guiding the reader/learner toward practical keywords, i.e. language, and skills necessary to implement. -- Raymond Blanton "The text introduces an important, specific approach to research." -- Tamar Ginossar "The practical, how-to, nature of the text is very appealing to me as an instructor. I like the examples and appreciate the numerous figures used to illustrate processes and arguments for visual learners." -- James R. Martin "This book is written in a way that is easy to follow and should expand the range of fields in which QCA is used. Also, there are quite a few principles and practice tips articulated, especially in later chapters, which are applicable more broadly across social sciences and evaluation work. Novice researchers will find those suggestions especially helpful, even if QCA does not become a major tool in their practice." -- Elizabeth H. McEneaney |
