Reviews

Tarozzi's encyclopedic knowledge of grounded theory makes this a great book for both methodologists interested in studying the evolution of this approach as well as for students interested in reading a clear description of one way to conduct studies using grounded theory. By showing how he analyzed the data in his own study of how families manage children's television watching, Tarozzi shows the elegant complexities of using grounded theory to systematically analyze data and build theory from the ground up.

Gives a brief and very personal introduction to Grounded Theory which makes it a very valuable resource for the novice students interested in using Grounded Theory for their own research.
