"From an excellent primer for undergraduate students to an invaluable and often 'dog-eared' resource for graduate students, this is the most comprehensive and accessible text on qualitative methodologies and methods in geography." --Mark Skinner, Trent University

"The main strengths of this textbook are that it situates qualitative methods within broader theoretical and epistemological contexts. . . . The focus on ethics and epistemology, balanced by practical considerations, sets this text apart from others." --Gwendolyn Blue, University of Calgary
