Altheide (10/20/2017) The Handbook of Qualitative Data Collection brings together the leading scholars to express the dynamism and creativity which now cut across all disciplines and topics. The major types of qualitative data collection include interviews, focus groups, narratives, conversation analysis, discourse analysis, observations, ethnography, performance and hermeneutics, and videography, with pragmatic ideas about how to conduct each type of data collection. Two major sections discuss and analyze digital data collection, and how to use these data alone of with other forms of qualitative data. The critical issues of induction, generalization, sampling, and triangulation are presented with clarity and elegance. This Handbook will be foundational for years to come. –John M.
