Hi Denise, I agree that _Landscapes of Qualitative Inquiry_ is a key text in qualitative research and very useful for laying out the various traditions of inquiry. This book is actually the first half of Denzin and Lincoln's _Handbook of Qualitative Research_, published as one unit in 2000 and split in two paperback books in 2003 (which makes it more affordable). You'll also be interested in the other half: _Strategies of Qualitative Inquiry_. Incidentally, they're in the process of putting together the 3rd edition. Cheers, Annette Markham

Going through my Endnotes, and found this very interesting new book. First time I've understood comprehensibly what the different methodological approaches in qualitative research are. Might not relate to comm. research, but excellent nonetheless.
