We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Narrative Knowing and the Human Sciences" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Using literary criticism, philosophy, and history, as well as recent developments in the cognitive and social sciences, Narrative Knowing and the Human Sciences shows how to use research information organized by the narrative form--such information as clinical life histories, organizational case studies, biographic material, corporate cultural designs, and literary products. The relationship between the narrative format and classical and statistical and experimental designs is clarified and made explicit. Suggestions for doing research are given as well as criteria for judging the accuracy and quality of narrative research results.
