Summary: A "How To" Book for Researchers
Comment: The complexity of the challenge faced by qualitative researchers using computers is discussed in the opening chapter. Issues, options, potential problems, and the potential associated with the use of computers in research are discussed at length. Lee and Fielding, two UK researchers (and the book's editors) cover the subject matter quite well.
In fact, the vast majority of contributors to this book are UK based. A minority of American researchers are included, however.
In the second chapter, Renata Tesch (USA) discusses software and looks at program capabilities.
Paradigms and research processes in the transformation of qualitative methodology is the issue discussed in chapter 3 by Lyn Richards and Tom Richards.
They make the point, "Qualitative method is about understanding data in their context."
John Davies has a chapter on automated tools for qualitative research.
His chapter is heavily illustrated to clarify his points.
The three chapters in part two (chapters 5-7) talk about the implications for research practice.
The third part of the book (chapters 8-11) provide closure in addressing qualitative knowledge and computing.
This is a nice contribution to the niche it seeks to fill.
