John W. Creswell - Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research. Third Edition

This updated edition provides thoughtful consideration to how the field of mixed methods research has changed, including how the authors own definitions and typologies have refined. It also provides a discussion of a diverse array of empirical studies from prominent and emerging mixed methods scholars, highlighting the strength and potential of this field for social and behavioral sciences.Peggy Shannon-Baker, Bryn Mawr College

The authors compellingly described the evolution or adjustment of their thinking about mixed methods design. They achieved their goal of advancing the typology of mixed methods core designs in both a parsimonious and pragmatic manner. Teaching and learning about mixed methods designs will be enhanced by the extraordinary work of these authors!Susan Sweat Gunby, Mercer University
