“This anthology is very useful. It speaks directly to students. The writing is extraordinarily strong throughout the samples—clear and concise, interesting and insightful, authoritative and accessible. This is a book I will order with enthusiasm as required reading in my course on research design.”
Every case in the Anthology is worth reading.
This book is like an “anthology” overarching subject of case studies. It is a must have or must read book if you are embarking on a research adopting a case study approach. The book will certainly appeal to the students in that it speaks directly to them and in plain English. Additionally, the book has extensive description of what a case study is with examples drawn from various disciplines with easy to follow explanations on cast study techniques such as descriptive, explanatory, cross-case and methodological.
This book is suited for someone who is interested in examples of case studies. The book does not contain instructions on HOW to do a case study as such, but more on case studies that have already been done.
Not all of my students carry out case study research, so it would be wrong of me to recommend the book as essential. However those that do use case studies will be recommended the book. Thanks

Another excellent book by Yin - clear, concise and very easy to understand. Comprehensive examples of the approaches are especially useful.
clearly demonstrates how the other works by Yin are used in real world research, with clarity and diverse case studies to bring to life the method of case study research
