I am excited for this book release, as I find the work by Helen Aveyard incredibly helpful and aligned to teachers/students' requirements. The chapter 3 is very well written, it provides an excellent overview on generic qualitative research. It provides key words, examples and a contemporary approach which will certainly benefit both undergraduate and postgraduate students and lecturers alike.
