Recenzii

'Intended as an introduction to Focus Groups for research students, this book is a god-send for anyone considering the pros and cons of this approach, and a valuable practical toolkit for putting focus groups together.   Its academic background makes this even more useful. It is properly referenced throughout, and sufficiently rigorous for its stated purpose - supporting MPhil and PHD students. Despite this - or perhaps because of it - it is written in clear, accessible English and introduces all the necessary concepts as it goes along.'
