'[An] amazing feat is FLICK's ability to cover huge ground in concise

language, moving gradually from the theoretical to the practical in one volume' - Shalva Weil,

"From conceptualizing research questions to entering the field, making sampling decisions to constructing interview guides, Flick offers practical counsel...This updated edition maintains the authors' admirably practical focus―their primary aim is to offer a step by step approach to crafting a viable qualitative research proposal."

―Stefan Krug, Simmons College (Stefan Krug 2008-04-15)

`Flick's An Introduction to Qualitative Research is quite simply the most important text on qualitative research methods in the world today. I continue to envy Flick's command of the field and its ever-expanding literature, much of which he has managed to include in his new edition' - Norman K Denzin, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

`Flick aims to please both the novice and the experienced researcher, and in his ambition he largely succeeds....From conceptualizing the field, making sampling decisions to constructing interview guides, Flick offers practical counsel' - Science Direct

`Ideal for anyone wishing to understand fully the theoretical constructs behind the qualitative research methodology' - Journal of Family Studies

`The inclusion of examples, summary points and further reading is to be commended and adds to the clarity of an already clear and easy to understand text. The strength of the book lies not only in the clarity with which it is written but in the use of examples and tables.... I would have no problem in recommending this text equally to both pre and post-registration students of nursing, and also to students studying for higher degrees as a useable text which is easy to read and contains a vast amount of information which is logically presented' - Nurse Researcher
