Reviews

"The Need for more work on qualitative driven work in mixed methods has been apparent for some time, and who could better meet that goal than Jan Morse? This book will make an excellent starting point for anyone whose research includes a core qualitative study." -- David Morgan, Professor of Sociology at Portland State University

"Morse has written a friendly (and sometimes humorous) guide through the emerging territory of qualitatively driven mixed methods research. This text provides clear explanations of mixed methods concepts and practical strategies useful for thinking about and planning a qualitatively driven mixed methods study. Morse clearly lays out a pathway for qualitatively driven mixed methods design that will enable readers to obtain complementary findings that can contribute to the advancement of knowledge and theory." -- Donna M. Mertens, Professor Emeritus at Gallaudet University
