This book is recommendet for all post-graduate students that are preparing themselves to get involved with mixed-method research for their thesis work and beyond. For the doctorate level researcher engaged in mixed-methods it is probably the most comprehensive coverage of all the issues to be considered in a most readable case study approach.

This is a great book on mixed methods. I wished I had it earlier! I like the methodological selections that address research design types and I am sure any students attempting to use mixed methods would find this a helpful guide.
Definitely a text for any PhD students with an interest in mixed methods.
