      Challenging current modes of thinking, and covering areas not usually found in qualitative research texts such as social reality/ontology and quantum reality/mechanics, this book helps readers to choose and defend their research methods and to take their work beyond standard perspectives

      This clearly written and provocative text outlines the wide range of epistemological and metaphysical pillars of research.

      In a clear, easy to follow style, the reader is guided through an array of concepts that are defined, explained and made simple. With the aid of helpful examples and case studies, the book challenges the prevailing modes of thinking about qualitative inquiry by showcasing an immense variety of philosophical frameworks. Armed with a strong understanding of this philosophical backbone, students will be able to choose and defend a ‘pick and mix’ of research methods that will uniquely complement their research.
