The use of mixed methods designs for conducting research has become
a major trend in social science research. Renowned methodological
experts Janice Morse and Linda Niehaus present a guide to
intermediate and experienced researchers on the possibilities
inherent in mixed method research. They offer the basic principles
of conducting this kind of study, then examine a wide variety of
design options available to the researcher, including their
strengths and weaknesses and when to use them. Providing examples
from a variety of disciplines, examining potential threats to
validity, and showing the relationship between method and theory,
the book will be a valuable addition to the methodologist's library
and a useful text in courses in research design.
Developing Grounded Theory: The Second Generation Revisited is a
highly accessible description of the rapid development of grounded
theories and the latest developments in grounded theory methods. A
succinct overview of the development of grounded theory is
provided, including the similarities and differences between
Glaserian and Straussian grounded theory. The method introduced by
Schatzman, and the development of Charmaz's constructivist grounded
theory and Clarke's situational analysis, are clearly presented.
The book is divided into seven sections: each type of grounded
theory is discussed by the developer (or their student), followed
by a chapter describing a project that used that particular type of
grounded theory. Bookending these chapters is the first chapter,
which describes the development and landscape of grounded theory,
and a final chapter describing the challenges to the future of
grounded theory. This book is ideally suited for beginning students
trying to come to grips with the field as well as more advanced
researchers attempting to delineate the major types of grounded
theory.
The leading figure in qualitative health research (QHR), Janice M.
Morse, asserts that QHR is its own separate discipline--distinct
from both traditional health research and other kinds of
qualitative research--and examines the implications of this
position for theory, research, and practice. She contends that the
health care environments transform many of the traditional norms of
qualitative research and shape a new and different kind of research
tradition. Similarly, the humanizing ethos of qualitative health
research has much to teach traditional researchers and
practitioners in health disciplines. She explores how the
discipline of QHR can play out in practice, both in the clinic and
in the classroom, in North America and around the world. A
challenging, thought-provoking call to rethink how to conduct
qualitative research in health settings.

This book challenges the separation between CSR and law. It also
demonstrates that BRHR may be gradually separating from CSR through
emphasis on state obligations. Authors from around the world
discuss how businesses engage in CSR and human rights, and how
governments and intergovernmental organisations may support
business in taking responsibility

The mass media, press and television have always been central in
the formation of corporate identity and the promotion of business
image and reputation. This volume provides a new perspective into
the interrelationships between media and organizations across three
dimensions: Media as Business, Media in business and Business in
the media.

Originally published in 1989. In New World Soundings, cultural
historian Richard Morse takes a series of sharply focused looks at
the Americas. He inquires into the ways in which speech and poetry
evoke the common historical experience of North and South America
and examines the transatlantic "sea changes" of European languages.
He uses political ideology to contrast the traditions of Anglo and
Latin America, while surveying contemporary pressures for
ideological change. In the book's final sections, he addresses the
North-South transaction from yet three more angles, ruminating on
the problems involved in conveying the Latin American experience to
U.S. students, considering the impediments to U.S.-Puerto Rican
understanding, and recounting the mythic adventures of McLuhanaima,
"the world's first Brazilianist," as he travels through the exotic
land he has chosen for definitive research.
This volume, available for the first time in paperback, is a
standard work on the physical aspects of acoustics. Starting from
first principles, the authors have successfully produced a unified
and thorough treatment of the subjects of generation, propagation,
absorption, reflection, and scattering of compressional waves in
fluids, progressing to such topics as moving sound sources,
turbulence, and wave-induced vibration of structures. Material is
included on viscous and thermal effects, on the acoustics of moving
media, on plasma acoustics, on nonlinear effects, and on the
interaction between light and sound. Problems, with answers in many
cases, are given at the end of each chapter. They contain
extensions to further applications, thus enhancing the reference
value of the book. Many of the examples worked out in the text and
in the problem solutions were not previously published. Anyone
familiar with calculus and vector analysis should be able to
understand the mathematical techniques used here.
This compelling book for young readers was released in 2008 during
the 150th anniversary of the heavenly apparitions to Saint
Bernadette. In 1858, 14-year-old Bernadette saw the Blessed Virgin
Mary in Lourdes, France. Millions of pilgrims now visit the site
every year and many are healed by the miraculous spring that
emerged there. Yellow Roses on Her Feet is a beautifully written
drama of Bernadette's gentle courage in the face of desperate
poverty, illness, official threats and intrusive publicity. The
book's easy-to-read style draws readers through her captivating
life to a finale of beauty and hope.
Die Entwicklung der Ozeanographie ist dank der Fortschritte meeres
kundlicher Messungen und der Bearbeitungsmethoden ozeanographi
schen Beobachtungsmaterials bei jenem wichtigen Wendepunkt
angelangt, bei dem von der mehr beschreibenden Betrachtungsweise zu
einer stren geren Behandlung gesetzlicher Erscheinungen
ubergegangen werden kann. Die Ozeanographie folgt in dieser
fortschreitenden Entwicklung immer mehr ihrer Schwesterdisziplin,
der Meteorologie, die diesen Ubergang bei der Behandlung einzelner
Probleme schon in vielen Fallen erfolg reich durchgefUhrt hat. 1m
vorliegenden Buche habe ich versucht, eine Zusammenstellung unserer
Kenntnisse der Bewegungserscheinungen im Meere auf
theoretisch-physikalischer Grundlage zu geben. Einige Lucken, die
sich hierbei ergeben haben, habe ich versucht, auszufUllen. Die
Anfiinge zu dieser Arbeit reichen schon in die Zeit zuruck, als ich
an der Universitat Innsbruck im Verbande mit anderen
geophysikalischen Themen auch tiber Physik des Meeres Vorlesungen
hielt. Meine Berufung an das Institut und Museum fUr Meereskunde an
der Universitat Berlin, und meine Teilnahme an den letzten Profilen
der Deutschen Atlantischen Expedition auf dem Forschungsschiff
"Meteor" gaben mir Gelegenheit, mich noch eingehender mit diesen
Problem en der Ozeanographie zu be fassen. Letzten Endes waren es
die Vortrage, die ich fUr die wissen schaftlichen Teilnehmer und
fUr die Offiziere an Bord des "Meteor" hielt, die dazu fUhrten, die
hydrodynamischen Grundlagen der ozeanischen Bewegungen
durchzuarbeiten und ubersichtlich zusammenzustellen. Diese Vortrage
gaben so den Grundstock zu dieser "Dynamischen Ozeanographie.""
