The original chapters engage in debate on how qualitative research can be best used to advance the causes of social justice while addressing racial, ethnic, gender, and environmental disparities in education, welfare, and health care. Twenty contributors from six countries and multiple academic disciplines present models, cases, and experiences to show how qualitative research can be used as an 410 0$aIntl Congress of Qualitative Inquiry 606 $aInquiry (Theory of knowledge) 606 $aQualitative research 606 $aSocial advocacy 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Methodology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aInquiry (Theory of knowledge). 615 4$aQualitative research. 615 4$aSocial advocacy. 615 4$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Methodology. 676 $a001.4 676 $a001.4/2 676 $a001.42 700 $aDenzin$b Norman K$027745 701 $aGiardina$b Michael D$0864899 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464278603321 996 $aQualitative Inquiry Outside the Academy$91930468 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05135nam 2200637 450 001 9910462838703321 005 20210209192911.0 010 $a1-5230-9737-X 010 $a1-56726-396-8 035 $a(CKB)2670000000361453 035 $a(EBL)1938989 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001131492 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12434203 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001131492 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11143147 035 $a(PQKB)10148925 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1938989 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5254151 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000361453 100 $a20180201h20132013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMaximizing project value $ea project manager's guide /$fJohn C.

In this book the author brings his wealth of experience in project management to demonstrate how to increase a project's value and ultimately contribute to the attainment of business goalsFrom exploring the nature of "value," as tangible resources and moral or ethical attributes, to how best to approach decision-making, the book offers thorough coverage of this essential aspect of project management.

Together they make a complete reference set for the practicing scientist. This volume extends the range of topics and applications to ones that are not usually covered in a beginning thermodynamics text. In a sense, the book covers a ""middle ground"" between the basic principles developed in a beginning thermodynamics textbook, and the very specialized applications that are a part of an ongoing research project. As such, it could prove invaluable to the practicing scientist who needs to apply t 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aThermodynamic equilibrium 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aThermodynamic equilibrium. 676 $a541.3/69 700 $aOtt$b J.
