| Book Description | "The book is a concise and very readable guide to case study research. It includes a good introduction to the theoretical principles underlying qualitative research, and discusses a wide range of qualitative approaches, namely naturalistic, holistic, ethnographic, phenomenological and biographic research methods. . . .

Stake writes in a rather unusual and very personal style but this makes the text very readable. The author′s obvious passion for research makes the text even more enjoyable and stimulating. . . . the book. . . seems particularly appropriate for those undertaking this type of research in the fields of education and social policy."--Ivana La Valle in Social Research Association News"It is gratifying to encounter a text so cogently advocating the case study method (aka: naturalistic fieldwork) as a legitimate knowledge-enhancing endeavor."--Sala Horowitz in Academic Library Book Review"I have just finished a qualitative case study based almost entirely on interviews with engineering students.
