A Realist Approach for Qualitative Research

Excellent.

To me, it is a great book! Why? Because Professor Maxwell really shares his knowledge. He makes the crucial distinction between radical and moderate construtivism and makes a bridge between this inquiry's approach and interpretativism and critical realism showing the diferences and the common points. This book is helping me to prepare my phd thesis defense in Aveiro University next time. Absolutely great. Thank you

This is a very organize and systematic book and really helpful for a qualitative researcher.

Such a good book. Used it countless times in last couple of years, through interlibrary loans. Decided to treat myself to a copy of my own!The different elements of critical realism are well explained, particularly in how it interacts with research design. Easier to read than other texts i have seen on the subject.

I was looking for guidance on utilising critical realism in qualitative research and came across this book, it's perfect and really helped to frame research methods into a perspective I could grasp.
