A significant amount of work has been done over the last several decades in discussing qualitative social research (what it implies in terms of practice, what its underlying principles are, where its challenges appear etc.). In their book Doing Qualitative Research: The Craft of Naturalistic Inquiry, Joost Beuving and Geert de Vries undertake a similar task and carry it out with remarkable sharpness and clarity. The book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students interested in qualitative methodologies and it is faithful to its public. The stylistic accessibility, the refusal to build upon assumed or expected knowledge of the readers and the synthetic approach to each stage of social research individualize this volume and make it highly recommendable for teaching purposes.
