In this lively and multi-faceted book, Gerson and Damaske provide a useful and comprehensive guide to in-depth interview research — a fresh update to classic handbooks by Glaser and Strauss, Merton, Weiss, and others. Chock-full of examples from the works of contemporary scholars, The Science and Art of Interviewing will prove a valuable reference to researchers across the social sciences.
