by Harry F. Wolcott, University of Oregon; (d. 2012).

Harry Wolcott, one of anthropology's leading writers on ethnographic methods, here addresses the nature of the ethnographic enterprise itself. Tracing its development from its disciplinary origins in sociology and anthropology, he helps the reader understand what is distinctive about ethnography and what it means to conduct research in the ethnographic tradition. In this engaging, thought-provoking book, he distinguishes ethnography as more than just a set of field methods and practices, separating it from many related qualitative research traditions as 'a way of seeing' through the lens of culture. For both beginning and experienced ethnographers in a wide range of disciplines, Wolcott's book will provide important ideas for improving research practice.

An excellent resource for qualitative research.

Wolcott helpfully distinguishes between doing ethnography and using ethnographic methods and techniques... of course, the line will always be a bit fuzzier than I think he would like!
Beautifully written for the ethnographic researcher, this is about reorienting oneself for the task.
This is a hefty read - use it for higher level research.

PLEASE NOTE: The Kindle version is NOT the SECOND edition. It is only the FIRST edition, published in 1999! This is a RIP-OFF!!

One of the most enjoyable and readable professional books I've ever owned.

This is a very worthwhile book by the prolific Harry Wolcott. I would like to warn Kindle buyers though that the edition for the Kindle is the 1999 one. It does say this if you scroll down, but the photo is of the 2008 edition, which is what I thought I was getting. I already have the 1999 one and wanted the newer one. Amazon has been deceptive here; obviously not a fault of the book or the author.

The book itself is very interesting. Too bad it was delivered in bad shape...
