Doing Qualitative Research

Doing Qualitative Research

David Silverman

SAGE Publications
2026
Sidottu
When qualitative research moves from theory to practice, many students are left to work things out on their own. Doing Qualitative Research, Seventh Edition fills that gap. Drawing on decades of teaching and supervision, David Silverman writes as a supervisor in print— guiding students through the real decisions, setbacks, and breakthroughs required to take a qualitative research project from start to finish. The book focuses on the issues that most often cause projects to stall, from topics that are too broad and poorly chosen methods to ethics hold-ups and uncertainty about analysis. Real student examples show how experienced researchers spot problems, rethink their approach, and get back on track. By bringing analysis and writing in from the start, the book helps students build confidence and keep moving forward. New to this edition is a clear, balanced discussion of AI in doing data analysis, being original and getting published. The aim is to help students understand when AI may be useful—and when it is not. This is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking independent qualitative research projects.

Stop Harming Customers

Since the year 2000, banks have been fined almost a third of a trillion dollars. Yet, every year billions more are imposed. Why? This book explains why banks break the law (it's not just the money), explains the challenges facing Compliance functions, considers that the majority of financiers don't want to do wrong, and puts forth a proposal to stop banks from harming customers. The lessons in this book are applicable to any business where profit motives can conflict with customer benefit–in short, every business. (And if you're interested in cryptocurrency, this book's for you too!)

And God Created Hummus: Poems by David Silverman

And God Created Hummus: Poems by David Silverman

Glass Lyre Press

In preparation for a talk I was to give in my synagogue on the first section of Genesis--the one in which God creates the world in 6 days, including Adam and Eve, and rests on the seventh--I printed out a scholarly essay entitled, And God Created Humans. My printer, however, is very old and with every exertion, wheezes like a coal miner might after 40 years in the mine, which seems like something I could say about myself, climbing a staircase or running to catch a bus, though I can't remember the last time I took a bus. But I'm straying from the point, which is the ink did not transfer smoothly to the paper and the resulting smear and shadow obscured some of the words, such that it appeared the title of the essay was no longer, And God Created Humans. Rather, it read, And God Created Hummus.

Problems of Reflexivity and Dialectics in Sociological Inquiry (RLE Social Theory)

Problems of Reflexivity and Dialectics in Sociological Inquiry (RLE Social Theory)

Barry Sandywell; David Silverman; Maurice Roche; Paul Filmer; Michael Phillipson

Routledge
2017
nidottu
This is a work of social theory and philosophy which seeks to make the constitution of social theory a ‘social’ activity. It is essentially a collaborative text, by five authors, committed to a re-awakening of some of the forgotten dimensions of social theorizing. The collaborative work was originally occasioned by an attempt to analyse the notion of social stratification and its treatment in the sociological tradition. The authors’ main concern here is with the nature of social theorizing, and in particular the ‘difference’ between Self and Other, being and beings, Language and Speech. The papers in the book focus on themes that are fundamental to the sense of inquiry and tradition which they are concerned to display. The themes discussed include speech, Language, Identity, Difference, Critical Tradition, Community, Metaphor, Dialectics, Observing and Reading.

What if you could combine the agility, adaptability, and cohesion of a small team with the power and resources of a giant organization? When General Stanley McChrystal took command of the Joint Special Operations Task Force in Iraq in 2003, he quickly realized that conventional military tactics were failing. The allied forces had a huge advantage in numbers, equipment and training - but none of the enemy's speed and flexibility. McChrystal and his colleagues discarded a century of conventional wisdom to create a 'team of teams' that combined extremely transparent communication with decentralized decision-making authority. Faster, flatter and more flexible, the task force beat back al-Qaeda. In this powerful book, McChrystal and his colleagues show how the challenges they faced in Iraq can be relevant to any leader. Through compelling examples, the authors demonstrate that the 'team of teams' strategy has worked everywhere from hospital emergency rooms to NASA and has the potential to transform organizations large and small.'A bold argument that leaders can help teams become greater than the sum of their parts' Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit'An indispensable guide to organizational change' Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs

As commander of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), General Stanley McChrystal discarded a century of management wisdom and pivoted from a pursuit of mechanical efficiency to organic adaptability. In this book, he shows how any organization can make the same transition to act like a team of teams - where small groups combine the freedom to experiment with a relentless drive to share their experience. Drawing on a wealth of evidence from his military career and sources as diverse as hospital emergency rooms and NASA's space program, McChrystal frames the existential challenge facing today's organizations, and presents a compelling, effective solution.

Carlos Castaneda’s accounts of his meeting with the Yaqui Indian magician Don Juan are well known to sociologists both in Britain and in America. Using material largely from Castaneda’s The Teachings of Don Juan, David Silverman here seeks to introduce the student of Sociology to some of the central epistemological concerns of social science. First published in 1975, the title assumes no previous knowledge of Castaneda but instead uses his work as a springboard to wider issues, in particular making sense of our reality and understanding each other by using language and communication. This is an interesting reissue, which will be of particular value to students of the sociology of language and communication, as well as Communication Studies more generally.

First published in 1980, this reissue is a study of the sociology of language, which aims to bridge the gap between textbook and monograph by alternating chapters of explication and analysis. A chapter outlining a particular theory and suggesting general criticisms is followed by a chapter offering an original application of that theory. The aim of the authors is to treat text and talk as the site of specific practices which sustain or subvert particular relations between appearance and reality.
