The book describes in-depth qualitative interviewing from the very beginning to last step from
its underlying philosophy and assumptions to project design analysis and write up. In
responsive interviewing the stages of research-design data gathering and analysis-are
intimately linked. Researchers perform analysis throughout their projects not just at the end
so that as they learn more they can modify both the research problem they are exploring and
the questions they ask. The book assumes no prior knowledge or experience and the authors'
tone is conversational revealing that interviewers can make mistakes recover from them and
still obtain rich and meaningful information.
