      abstract = {"David Silverman's second edition provides a refreshing  introduction to doing and debating qualitative research. An  antidote to the standard textbook, this new edition shows  how research can be methodologically inventive, empirically  rigorous, theoretically-alive and practically relevant.  Using materials ranging from photographs to novels and  newspaper stories, the book demonstrates that getting to  grips with qualitative methods means asking ourselves  fundamental questions about how we are influenced by  contemporary culture. By drawing on examples from websites  and social media in the new edition, Silverman's text  acknowledges how our social worlds are changing and  explores new arenas for data collection. A new Glossary of  Received Ideas aims to challenge conventional  understandings of terms central to qualitative research and  will inform, amuse and stimulate readers. This book is  perfect pre-course reading for those new to research as  well as seasoned researchers who want to reflect on their  practice."--Publisher's website.},
