The book does not meet the expectations that the
title and foreword raise. It demonstrates the fact that the
strict separation of theoretical background and code of practice
is a difficult task to accomplish and hardly of any use in
the field of qualitative research. Repeated reference to the
variety of kinds of analyses that can be conducted using this
kind of software does not hide the fact that the author's instructions
include a very specific – presumably his own –
way of doing qualitative research. In doing so, he provides
an insight in to techniques of computer-aided processing of
qualitative data, focusing on different types of text retrieval
and inquiry for combinations of codes or variables.
