The book has two parallel foci. On the one hand, it is a conceptual treatise, focusing on the principles of the Multiple Case Narrative. On the other hand, it also has a practical "how-to" focus with a step-by-step guide to conducting a Multiple Case Narrative. The book is accessible and comprehensive and addresses both those in the field as well as those with little background in the methodologies of narrative study and qualitative research.This book is also relevant to those who are interested in other qualitative varieties like single and collective narrative inquiry, single and collective case study, as well as ethnography, because each of the procedures and techniques described here can be easily utilized for conducting other types of qualitative research. 410 0$aStudies in narrative ;$vv. 7. 606 $aQualitative research$xMethodology 606 $aPopulation research$xMethodology 606 $aDiscourse analysis, Narrative 615 0$aQualitative research$xMethodology. 615 0$aPopulation research$xMethodology. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis, Narrative. 676 $a302/.072/3 700 $aShekedi$b Asher$01679792 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828821903321 996 $aMultiple case narrative$94048298 997 $aUNINA
