Review :
"The book is filled with tips to the researcher on how to master the craft of doing research overall and specifically how to account for multi-layered cases." "Yin covers all of the basic and advanced knowledge for conducting case study and why they are useful for specific research studies without getting lost in the weeds." "The applications enhance the original material because it gives the reader concrete examples." "Yin is much more in-depth on case study methods both within a general qualitative text and any other case study text I have seen."
