This book seeks to guide the student through the practical issues of doing conversation analysis, while providing the theoretical foundation for making research decisions. Each chapter highlights the challenges, debates, and important questions that arise in discursive research projects.

The Varieties of Grounded Theory explores the range and depth of grounded theory methodology, and the ways in which discussions in the field have developed and expanded in recent years.

Written by the leading name in the field, this is an engaging introduction to the main concepts in both quantitative and qualitative research methods in sport, exercise, kinesiology and health. Conversational in tone yet thoroughly comprehensive.
